Children’s Area
There’s something for every kid at the AHSC children’s area.
“There will be lots of activities for all age ranges,” says Carrolyn Kubota, operations director at the AsianWeek Foundation. “There will be a bouncy house, rock climbing wall, games, face painting, storytelling, planting seeds in milk cartons, live animal encounters and finger printing from the SF Police Activity League.”
Kids can also participate in making leis, fans and paper lanterns. Kids who want more can write down their wishes and tie them to the Wishing Tree, which originates in the Chinese culture.
There will also be educational activities to help children learn and embrace Asian heritage. Volunteers from Public Allies will help kids learn the artistry of tinikling, a traditional Filipino dance where participants rhythmically step over large bamboo sticks. Children will also have the opportunity to win prizes by answering Asian American history trivia questions.
Kung Fu Panda was out to promote his new film.
