Let’s Build a Gundam! - Learn about and make gunpla together!

Celebrate Children's Day at the Japanese Friendship Garden of Phoenix with a workshop surrounding some of the most popular toys in Japan – Gundam! This Gundam introductory workshop will allow guests to learn about the history of Gundams in Japan, from toys to anime, and how to get started in the hobby.

Guests will also get to make their own Gundam using official Bandai model kits. These kits are recommended by the manufacturer for ages 15 and up, unless assisted by a parent or guardian. The kit includes all materials needed to put together your Gundam fighting robot, as well as stickers to add to it. Any additional materials will be provided by the Garden (nippers, tweezers). The best part is – this Gundam is yours to take home!

While this is an introductory class, Gundam enthusiasts of all ages are welcome. Guests are also welcome to bring their own…
