The Sharjah International Book Fair 2026 is offering young visitors more than an opportunity to explore books, with hands-on mini-crafts, creative workshops and interactive activities adding an engaging dimension to their experience.
Children visiting the fair are encouraged to explore their imagination, develop creative skills and discover the joy of making things through a variety of practical activities designed to make learning enjoyable.
From small craft projects to interactive making sessions, the activities provide children with opportunities to experiment with different materials, express their ideas and create something of their own.
The workshops also encourage curiosity, patience and problem-solving, allowing young participants to learn through experience while enjoying a lively and welcoming environment.
For younger visitors, these activities offer an opportunity to move beyond reading and engage in creative experiences that combine entertainment with learning.
The initiative reflects the fair's broader commitment to nurturing children's creativity and developing a love of learning from an early age.
By bringing together literature, imagination and practical activities, SIBF continues to provide families with an enriching experience where young minds can explore, create and learn.
