KIDS YARD
WHAT WILL WE SEE - WHAT WILL WE HEAR - WHAT WILL WE KNOW - HOW WILL WE REVEAL?
MJR XXIII Children's Yard welcomes the entire family!
MJR XXIII Children’s Yard welcomes the entire family!
Children are so lively, like dancing flames, so this year the Children’s Yard in Mėnuo Juodaragis will be as fiery and sparkly as the festival itself. Throughout the four days of the festival, we will invite the little tribesmen to a variety of activities: to draw letters to the goddess Gabija, to mould will-o’-the-wisps, to make fire keepers, to find out how to draw on smoke, how to fly kites, or perhaps aeroplanes, or any of the other creatures they are eager to meet.
Today’s FiDi physicists-oracles will foretell various natural phenomena and explain chemical wonders to children. “Knygų vaikai” (Children of Books) will turn the handles, keys and buttons of electronic instruments, and voice effects. The popular kids’ writer Tomas Dirgėla and Justinas Žilinskas, who is writing for the youth, will be happy to reveal all their literary secrets during their concerts. And the team of Utena “Steam” will offer to try: cyanotype – a solar imprinting workshop, microscopy, the making of soap bubbles and tattooing with henna ink. On top of that, there will be plenty of cartoons, grasshopper chases and priceless stories to tell each other!
The Children’s Yard of Juodaragis is always bursting with action and creative surprises, therefore we like to welcome children with their entire families – let’s have a blast together!
A festival for future generations inside the festival:
