Event Overview

Who doesn't want to make kinetic toys that do funny things? (CLICK THE LINK IN THE PICTURE ABOVE TO SEE EXAMPLES!)

It's really easy, and the result is delightful. You'll learn how to build them out of wire, old plastic signs, paper and found materials.

You'll learn movement basics, and how to plan your toy. You will leave with TWO finished toys of your own! Your final piece will be more substantial, like in the first photo, but first you will do a pint-size trial run to get the hang of making something move.

Come and learn how to make these kinetic contraptions that will make everyone smile (and oh-so jealous).

Minimum age

All ages welcome
