Creative Kids Workshops: Finland


The Creative Kids Workshops in the meadow will feature 9 hands-on educational art activities and fun for kids of all ages. At the Creative Kids area, you will turn from a spectator to a participant. Children will have a passport to activities featuring the cultures of China, Finland, Ghana, and Jordan. In addition, children can get their faces painted, you can silkscreen your own festival poster, enjoy the brand new toddler tent, and learn about music making and instruments at our Instrument Petting Zoo. Also new this year is the Global Art & Rhythm tent, where visitors will experience performances and workshops in the mornings, and meet & greet with the international children performers in the afternoon.

Children will learn about Finnish culture and history via a game and coloring of cell phone shaped xeroxes. You will equip your cell phone with screen savers, featuring Finnish landmarks and accomplishments, write a text message from the festival and add your personal bling to your gadget.
