Let’s experiment and build toys with things we might find at home!
In this workshop, Hong Kong collector Joel Chung invites children and accompanying adults to rediscover the joy of making toys from everyday materials like string, tin cans and bottle caps. Together, participants will create four simple yet delightful playthings: origami boats, tin can stilts, spinning toys and paper clip guns.
Inspired by the ingenuity of children growing up in post-war Hong Kong, the workshop celebrates a time when imagination turned scarcity into endless invention. Along the way, Chung will share personal stories from his own childhood and his experience as a collector, before closing with a lively play session where participants’ creations come to life in motion.
This event accompanies the special display Snuggle and Stitch: Childhood Textiles of Hong Kong in The D. H. Chen Foundation Gallery.
Experience: No prior experience is needed. Suitable for children aged 6 and above. Each child must be accompanied by an adult; no registration is required for the accompanying adult.

Forget about staying quiet in museums! CHAT’s summer exhibition, Weave and Shout!, turns museum spaces into exciting, creative playgrounds. Using everyday objects like thread and yarn, artists from Australia, Hong Kong and Indonesia invite you not only to experience art but also to become part of it. You can touch, create sounds, play and even weave onto Slow Art Collective’s eco-friendly structures. You can reimagine school by walking through Chan Wai Lap’s memory-filled yet whimsically reflective installations. You can also see household items come alive as animals and landscapes through the vivid storytelling of Agus Nur Amal PM Toh.
This interactive exhibition welcomes everyone – from children to adults – to have fun, make noise and freely express themselves. Visit CHAT to chase away boredom and stress!
