Kids Corner
Visiting the Fashion for Good Museum is also a fun activity for kids and families.
For curious young minds there’s the Fashion for Good Kids Corner! This is a special space in the museum where kids can get creative and dream up their own version of the future of fashion, right here in the museum.
We have a few activities available that are designed to be as fun and interactive as possible for 8-12 year olds and are available in Dutch and English. Here the kids – or innovators and designers of the future as we’d like to call them – can celebrate their birthdays, attend workshops or join educational programmes.
Kids activities available all year round
- Scavenger hunt or material bingo: go on a mission through the museum and get to know all the interesting new innovations helping to shape the future of the fashion industry!
- Kids T-shirt decorating station: Get creative in the kids corner and bring a plain T-shirt to life with recycled scraps of materials, ribbons and fabric markers! Kids can choose to bring their own T-shirt to the museum to give it a new life. Alternatively, Fashion for Good Museum also offers our very own special T-shirt to decorate with the option of a cool statement print, available to buy at the front desk where you can also purchase your museum tickets. Ask our lovely hosts for more information!
