Highlights of the day will include demonstrations of the ancient art of candy sculpting, a scavenger hunt, a Curious George-themed bounce house, and a mochitsuki (rice pounding) demonstration.
All-day activities:
?Visitors can make their own monkey puppets and learn to fold an origami monkey.
? Coloring pages will help visitors learn about qualities of people born in the Year of the Monkey as well as the 11 other signs of the Asian zodiac.
? Guests can explore JANM’s current “Giant Robot Biennale 4” exhibition to complete a scavenger hunt and receive a custom JANM x Giant Robot sticker.
? In celebration of “Giant Robot Biennale 4” and its emphasis on drawing, visitors can customize a sketchbook to fill with drawings during the coming year.
? A Nerdbot photo booth with a monkey mascot will provide souvenir photos for guests to take home. Guests can also take their own photos in JANM’s monkey stuffed animal “petting zoo.”
? Toddlers can have fun or relax with an adult who brought them in the JANM toddler room. The film “Monkey Kingdom,” about the monkeys of South Asia, will be screening in the Toddler Room throughout the day.
