Kids can create hats inspired by Asian textiles exhibit

You can dress up your child’s education at the Keiki-Parent Activity Tour at the Honolulu Academy of Arts, where children become costume designers, creating their own hats and caps inspired by Asian designs.

The event, geared toward the academy’s current exhibit titled "Family Ties in Asian Textiles: Children’s and Adult Costumes from Japan and China," will be held 9-11 a.m. Saturday at the academy.

The event starts with a tour of the exhibit, followed by an art activity and refreshments. Reservations are required because space is limited. Admission is free for children ages 6 to 12, although they must be accompanied by an adult; adults pay a reduced academy admission of $1. For reservations, call 532-8726.
