Kids can learn more about the African-American holiday Kwanzaa at the Children’s Museum of Houston’s Kwanzaa WonderWeek. During Kwanzaa’s weeklong celebration, a candle is lit every day to represent each of Kwanzaa’s seven principles, such as creativity and unity. Quick Kwanzaa quiz No. 1: What’s today’s principle? (Nia, or purpose).
During CMH’s WonderWeek, kids can make munhindi (corn) necklaces, design a kinara(candleholder), weave a mkeka (mat), learn African dance steps, or make a Kwanzaa card. An African dance group performs Thursday at 6:30 p.m. and Saturday at 2:30 p.m. Today’s activities include a dance lesson at 1 p.m. with necklace making weaving workshops also on the schedule. Check the CMH Web site for full details.
Quick Kwanzaa quiz No. 2: Where does the word Kwanzaa come from?
