Open film screening for the whole family: ‘Urpo ja Turpo johtolangan jäljillä’
Welcome to a family-friendly film screening at Cinema Orion on Saturday 21 November at 10.30, featuring the classic children’s film ‘Urpo ja Turpo johtolangan jäljillä’ (dir. Liisa Helminen, Finland, 2018, 60 min, all ages). Based on Hannele Huovi’s popular storybooks, ‘Urpo ja Turpo johtolangan jäljillä’ is a collection of six classic films and has now been restored and is more colourful than ever on the big screen! Urpo and Turpo, two curious toy bears, live on the bookshelf in the children’s bedroom. The bears’ favourite pastime is reading, as books provide them with brilliant ideas. The bears come up with the most entertaining adventures as fairy tales blend into everyday life. Thanks to the breadfruit tree, Urpo and Turpo are saved on a desert island; they unabashedly give other characters makeovers, search for clues, flout the rules, long for peace and quiet, and compete to be the best and strongest in the world. Just like the toys from Toy Story, Urpo and Turpo come to life when the family are not looking. The Urpo and Turpo film is sure to entertain both adults and the youngest members of the family. Free tickets for the performance will be available from 1 October onwards. Book your free tickets in advance at cinemaorion.fi

Dinosauruksen hikka vai mehiläisen kakka? – 33 kutkuttavaa lasten tiedekysymystä
Science dances the samba and imagination runs wild in this musical theatre adventure about science questions from children! The performance is an ode to a child's curiosity and ability to wonder and question. Why does an adult say that something looks good when they don't even look? Do fish snore? How can you know what is true? Answers to these and other tricky questions are sought in a musical and fast-paced adventure that takes the viewer across the Atlantic on the wings of a social media bee, revealing the secret conversations of the trees and leading the travellers into the wild jungle of misinformation. When little reporters Solmu and Silmu invade the Extreme Knowledge Conference (Äärimmäisen tiedon konferenssi), chaos ensues as science meets imagination and facts dance the samba. Dinosauruksen hikka vai mehiläisen kakka? – 33 kutkuttavaa lasten tiedekysymystä – is based on a Helsingin Sanomat column and the books edited based on it: Ovatko kaikki esineet joskus olleet märkiä? (2015), Tietääkö karhu että se on karhu? (2018) ja Miksi linnut heräävät niin aikaisin? (2020). These books, edited by Tuomas Kaseva, contain a total of more than 400 tough questions that children have asked experts in various fields in the Helsingin Sanomat column. Children's science questions are themselves insightful, imaginative and, with expert answers, educational for everyone. They cover a wide range of scientific disciplines, from biology to astrology, not forgetting philosophical reflections. The show is aimed at children aged 5–9, but the whole family will probably enjoy it. The performance is visually striking, musically rich, insightful, playful and thought-provoking, with the aim of encouraging children to question, explore and wonder about the world and to reflect more deeply on the nature of knowledge. It is an ode to a child's curiosity, wonder and questioning. The show respects children and the way they look at the world. It's hard to imagine adults being able to look at things in such a multidisciplinary and creative way. In this performance, you are allowed to laugh at fart jokes and adults with their rigid thoughts. The presentation will also examine knowledge itself and the nature of knowledge from the perspective of media criticism. Multi-literacy and media literacy are now taught to younger and younger people. Children already in early childhood education should be able to identify reliable information and where to look for it. The production team consists of actor-writers Pinja Hahtola and Iida-Maaria Lindstedt and musician Suvi Isotalo. The visuals of the work are the responsibility of the scenographer and puppeteer Tua Hautamäki and the lighting designer Mirkka Saari. On stage: Pinja Hahtola, Iida-Maaria Lindstedt ja Jouni Raatikainen. The premiere of the show will take place in April 2026, and it will be produced in collaboration with Q-teatteri and Kanneltalo. Dinosauruksen hikka vai mehiläisen kakka? – 33 kutkuttavaa lasten tiedekysymystä is also part of the Culture Kids project. After the performances in Helsinki, the show will be available to order from autumn 2026 onwards throughout Finland. Duration: max. 1 h. The performance language is Finnish. Warning: The performance may cause chronic questionitis!

Children's Weekend: Invisible Backpack: Backpack Buddy workshop
In this workshop, you'll get to craft a lovely backpack buddy. In the 'Invisible Backpack' books, the main character Rosali has a plush friend, Possu, who acts as a power figure and companion, helping Rosali express her feelings. Everyone in the workshop gets to make their own character to be their backpack buddy. This friend can come along as your own power figure and companion, who sees your secret backpack and reminds you it's there. In the workshop, you'll think about what important reminder your own backpack buddy could offer. The workshop explores sensitivity, feeling overwhelmed, and recovery, based on the 'Invisible Backpack' children's book series. The workshop leaders are Maria Vilja, a picture book author (including the 'Invisible Backpack' series), social worker, and visual arts educator, and Reetta Huhta, a children's and youth emotional skills instructor, drama, and visual arts pedagogue. The workshop runs on a non-stop basis. Children participate with their own adult. Entry to the workshop is free. This event is part of Espoo Children's Weekend.

Children's Weekend: Teatteri Tuomikko & Amadeu Vives: Planet Earth performance
This family show combines sand animation, puppet theatre, and beautiful music into a story that explores the difficulty and necessity of peaceful coexistence. The performance is a hymn to our wonderful blue planet, Planet Earth. When Luna has an argument with her friends, she whispers a wish to the moon to go to it. Surprisingly, her wish comes true, and soon Luna is looking down at the distant Planet Earth from the moon's surface. But are silence and solitude the solution to arguments? Can you be happy if you turn your back on others? This performance, a collaboration between puppet theatre artist Terhi Tuomikko, sand animation artist Amadeu Vives, and composer Marko Häkkinen, aims to inspire faith in the future and in human kindness. The show is 40 minutes long. Recommended for the whole family, from around 5 years old. The performance is in the Meijeri building. Children also need...
