Permanent activity
Welcome to the party shop!
Our party shop is a cheery, family venue where you can find things from all over the world that are used in all kinds of different celebrations. Every day somewhere in the world, something is being celebrated. We don’t all share the same celebrations, but we all like a party. Take a look around in our party shop and discover celebrations you didn’t know existed. Do our music quiz, learn a festive dance or pick the best party outfit!
Festivities! Worldwide: Keti Koti
From 14 May till 10 July 2022 there is a creative activity in Festivities! Worldwide around Keti Koti.
Begeleide activiteit – Maak je eigen papel picado slinger
Zoals bij veel feesten is versiering een belangrijk onderdeel. In Mexico worden de huizen en straten kleurrijk versierd. Overal zie je lachende skeletten en kleurige slingers met motieven van bloemen, botten en schedels. Deze slingers heten papel picado en betekent 'geperforeerd gekleurd papier’. Het zijn dus papieren vlaggen met gaatjes erin. Vroeger werden de papel picado met beitels gesneden van dikke stapels vloeipapier. Maak tijdens deze activiteit je eigen papel picado slinger gewoon met een schaar!
