In this weekly updated agenda we propose here cultural activities, workshops, excursions… leisure plans to do with small and not so small children. They are grouped according to the museum equipment or the location where they are held. We hope it is useful to you so you can fully enjoy it with the little ones in the house.
Activities for children at the Laboral, Gijón
[1]· Cooking science
- Saturday, April 18, 2026, 17:00 PM. Meeting point: Laboral Reception.
We'll read, we'll talk, and we'll swap our white coats for kitchen aprons. Using everyday ingredients that everyone has at home, we'll put the laws of physics and chemistry to the test. We'll decode the world around us to try to understand and improve it, in this activity combining reading and scientific experimentation.
Taught by: Eugenia Valdés Fernández. A Chemistry graduate with 24 years of teaching experience, her approach combines an experimental and playful method to teach scientific concepts from an early age. She leads science workshops for children, aiming to spark their curiosity about the world around them.

[2]· Where is it when it's no longer there? by Coma14
- Sunday, April 19, 2026, 17:30 p.m. Laboral Theatre.
Nina goes up to the attic. What is she looking for? Or are memories searching for her within her? Toys from her childhood, her breakfast cup, her grandmother's apron… Songs, smells, games, adventures flood her memory…
When Nina was very little, something happened to her grandmother.
– Grandma has gone on a trip… very far away…– her mother told her.
"On a trip? But where is he?" Nina asked.
Nina will relive that journey, a journey to understand what absence is… a journey in search of the greatest treasure…

[2] The art of copying art

Visit and demonstration of bone marrow lamps.
Besides pigments of various colors, binders, containers, and other essential elements for Paleolithic artists to paint deep within caves, one of the most important was lighting. They crafted bone marrow lamps that provided a clean, warm light, and the shadows they cast on the rock walls could also have been a great source of inspiration. We will observe the process of creating one of these lamps and test it during the visit.
