Jaffa Port is holding family activities built around reuse and repair every Saturday in November at Beit HaMekholot and Hangar 2. The program includes craft workshops using old materials and a children’s play, with a repair cafe taking place on November 28 only.
A wooden playroom, coloring stations and games are free.
Schedule
- November 7: Two workshops. Children ages 3-7 make sketchbooks, notebooks and travel journals from cardboard and used paper at the HaTzdafa studio in Hangar 2. In the Beit HaMekholot lounge, children ages 6-8 build a miniature scene from the story of Heidi and take it home.
- November 14: A workshop and a show. Old plastic bottles become colorful animals in a workshop for ages 3-6 at the HaTzdafa studio. The Almina Theater in Hangar 2 stages “The Tractor in the Sandbox,” based on the book by Meir Shalev, for ages 2-6. Everyone needs a ticket, regardless of age.
- November 21: Children ages 3-6 turn an old shirt into a bag by cutting and tying, with no sewing, at the HaTzdafa studio. Bring an old T-shirt, with or without sleeves, or a tank top.
- November 28: A workshop and a repair cafe. A paper-folding workshop with Naor and Merav turns an old book into a vase, for ages 6-11, at the HaTzdafa studio. The same day, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., a repair cafe marking reuse month invites children ages 3-5 and their parents to make clothes for a stuffed animal in Hangar 2. Entry is free. Bring a stuffed animal and a piece of clothing your child wore as a baby.
Craft workshops run twice each Saturday, at 10:30 a.m. and 12 p.m.
