Education Activities

This signature family activity of Shanghai Children’s Art Theatre has became Shanghai's one and only large scale car boot sale dedicated only to children. Each family arrives at the parking lot of the theatre with goods in the boot of their car. They open their car boot, set up DIY signs, hang up decorations, change into cotumes and start to sell their items. Children become merchants and parents are their assistants. Families transform car boots into stalls and sell either DIY or second hand children's items .
