Kohl’s

Design It! Lab

Build, create, and have fun together!

Bring the whole family to the Kohl’s Design It! Lab and make wonderfully creative projects that you can take home.

The Kohl’s Design It! Lab is fun for the whole family!

Projects can take anywhere from 5-45 minutes, and a Kohl’s Design It! Lab team member will guide you through the use of tools like hot glue guns, heat sealers, and vacuum-formers.

Each month the Kohl’s Design It! Lab staff develops a new theme and new projects, so be sure to visit often!

Projects Currently Available - May 2019: Spring Things

Create this adorable little motorized bee that buzzes when it lands on a “flower”. It’s a simple circuit and a whole lot of fun!

There’s something wonderful about getting back to nature. Sitting around a campfire, telling stories, roasting hotdogs and marshmallows, and looking up at the stars. Design your own dream campsite!

The earth is a turbulent place and especially in the month of May and the tornado is one of the most destructive forces on our planet. You can build your own contained tornado and spin your tornado around to knock over your house and tree.

Which wings are right for you? Bird wings are not the same as insect wings, which are not the same as bat wings. You can make your own wings inspired by the different flying creatures found on Earth.

Discover the Upcycling Wall

Transform old magazines, egg cartons, ribbon, cardboard, yarn, bubble wrap, Popsicle sticks, and other interesting materials into whatever you can think of!

The Kohl’s Design It! Lab is open to all ages. Specific projects will be available for different age groups.

Kids Corner

Complete with highchairs, tiny tables and stools, markers and crayons, all sorts of building blocks, and pillows, the Kids Corner is the perfect place for active makers 5 and under.

Educators

We know that educators are always looking for ways to enhance their everyday curriculum. That’s where we can help!

The Kohl’s Design It! Lab offers exciting programming through either onsite interdisciplinary workshops offered as part of your field trip visit to Discovery World, or as the Kohl’s Design! Mobile lab –an onsite teaching lab that brings the learning experience to your classroom!

Both of these options will give your students a unique learning opportunity through these hands-on design experiences.
