Lucky Pig
Discovering Animals of the Chinese Zodiac through Toys and Play
Celebrate the coming of the Chinese New Year at MINT Museum of Toys. Take a guided tour through the museum and learn about the animals and stories that inspired the Chinese Zodiac. From dragons to monkeys to pigs, animals have been an important part of children's play for generations.
Make & Play begins with a warm welcome and the story of the Jade Emperor’s race of the Zodiac Animals, followed by a tour of the museum featuring animals in the zodiac calendar. Each animal has unique qualities and a story to tell, just like the toys on display at Mint. Using colourful craft supplies provided by the museum, create your own Year of the Pig toy in lucky colours of red and gold. Bring your Lucky Pig home with you and place it by your bed for a year of happiness and success!
Discover what animals get along best with the pig, find your zodiac sign and make a Lucky Pig in this 1.5-hour tour and workshop (2 – 3:30pm). Suitable for children ages 5 – 12, families encouraged to participate.
