The supermarket chain Spar will give children's workshops in Lanzarote on the occasion of the Canary Islands Day from May 23 to 28.
The objective of this initiative is to highlight the Canarian customs, so that the little ones learn more about their roots through the game. "The intention is to value what our grandparents achieved with so much effort and sacrifice, and what better way to preserve our legacy than through children," they say from Spar.
To participate in the workshops it will be necessary to reserve a place and you can choose between two shifts, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. or from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., both will be taught in the Eurospar gallery in Altavista.

The artisan Estefanía González, from Experimenta Lanzarote, will be in charge of showing this exhibition, which will feature elements such as rosettes.
Monday 23: gofio and mojo workshop

Wednesday 25: create your tunera boat
The objective of this workshop is to create and play as our ancestors did, but from the point of view of recycling.
"In the past, the toys we know today did not exist, so our grandparents had to devise them with the means they had, an example of this were the penca or tunera toys," they point out from Spar.
Registration will be done by calling 639123940.
Thursday 26: creations with salt
Salt is part of the identity of Lanzarote, especially the salt of Janubio, so the little ones will be able to know in this workshop where it is obtained and what is obtained from it, such as creating their own bath salts and decorative jars.
