Books Kinokuniya Summer Craft Event is giving families another reason to visit Dubai Mall today. Taking place on Friday, July 24, the free event invites children aged 5 to 8 years to spend an afternoon exploring their creativity through arts and crafts in a fun, screen-free setting.
Running from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, the activity is perfect for parents looking for an easy way to keep little ones entertained during the summer holidays. Best of all, there’s no registration or RSVP required, so families can drop by and join in.
A Creative Afternoon for Little Artists
Hosted inside the children’s section of Books Kinokuniya UAE, the event is packed with hands-on activities designed to spark imagination. Young participants can enjoy paper craft projects, guided colouring sessions and bright sketching activities, all in a welcoming environment where they can create alongside other children.
Parents won’t need to worry about bringing any supplies either. Everything needed for the activities, including child-friendly craft materials and washable glue, will be provided by the store, making it an easy last-minute outing.
The event has been designed as a screen-free experience, encouraging children to explore their creativity while developing fine motor skills and enjoying a relaxed afternoon away from digital devices.

The event takes place at Books Kinokuniya UAE, the bookstore’s impressive 68,000-square-foot flagship store located on the second floor of Dubai Mall. If you’re driving, P7 Fashion Parking offers one of the quickest walking routes to the store.
