FAMILY PROGRAMMING

Burp your Baby Grogus and bring them to our Family Zone where you can experience activities the whole family can enjoy. Snap pics with your favourite characters, learn some new skills at workshops, and join in on panels made just for the kids (and kids at heart).

Join Emmy Award-winning cartoonist Joe Wos as he takes artists of all ages through the steps of drawing cartoons while sharing tips on developing skills, defining artistic terms, and teaching how to build characters.

NEW TO THE ACADEMY:

• Cartooning Canada's Critters - Learn to draw moose, beavers, polar bears, and other animals from your home and native land
• Saturday Morning Fun with Jay Stephens - Wake up on Saturday morning with fellow fans and some of your favourite cartoons 

It's Toronto Comicon's cutest event. Come cheer on the cosplay stars of tomorrow at the Kids' Cosplay Contest on Sunday, March 17 at 1:00 PM on the Cosplay Red Carpet. Get ready to shine, little ones.

Get Wild about Wildlife with the ROM in the Family Zone. Explore the beauty of nature as you check out real, touchable specimens, join in on creative colouring, and make your own origami critters to take home.
