## About this plan

Looking for things to do in Bogotá with kids during school break? This art experience is a perfect pick. The Casa Quinta de Bolívar Museum opens its doors for a free activity designed for families: 'Las arpilleras de Mochilín', a program from Idartes that blends storytelling, movement, and live music.

The story follows RU and TRU, two characters on a trip to the Botonia region with one clear dream: to sing. Before they make it happen, they have to face the dancing buttons, a challenge that calls for imagination and teamwork. In the end, the two main characters learn that the real reward is not just singing. It is about daring to create and share what each person carries inside.

It is a chance for kids to enjoy art as play, in one of the most historic spots in the city.
