National Children's Museum

Kite Making Workshop

Stop by National Children’s Museum for a free kite making workshop from March 24-26 from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm. Families are invited to create their own kites using simple materials. Along the way, you’ll complete different design challenges to answer questions like, “What happens if I add two tails or more ribbons to my kite?” After testing and tweaking your design, you’ll walk away prepared to fly your own homemade kite at the Blossom Kite Festival on Saturday, March 26! The workshop will be held outside the Museum’s main entrance under the blue awnings. In the case of poor weather, it will be moved inside to the Museum’s Entry Hall
