How does a toy go from idea, to design, to manufactured plaything? And how do toy artists work with media companies - like DC, Marvel, and Sanrio - to develop licensed toys that do justice to our favorite superheroes and videogame stars? Join Kidrobot’s talented artists to hear the story of how toys are made, from start to finish, and enjoy an interactive exhibit of their work. Best for all ages.

Cut, fold, glue, and customize a character that pops to life in 3D, becoming a DIY sculpture for display in your home or office. Led by artist Becky Clark of WhipperSnap Studio.
