HONOLULU, HAWAI‘I—The holidays are here! Celebrate with the Honolulu Museum of Art on Dec. 16 at Bank of Hawaii Family Sunday: Happiest Holidays.
Families are invited to decorate star-shaped cookies with frosting and sprinkles.
For a less edible art activity, keiki can make a star-shaped ornament with pipe cleaners and beads. (There'll be plenty of supplies so kids can make a star for a friend or family member, too!)
Guests can learn more about the Filipino holiday Pasko with members of the Filipino Association of University Women (FAUW). Kids can view colorful parols (star-shaped Christmas lanterns) on display and make their own with bamboo skewers and colored paper.
At 10am, the Pacific Harp Project will perform for guests in one of the galleries. At noon, the rhythm and blues band Hook+Line will play classic holiday tunes for a sing-along.
See the full schedule.
