Crafts for children every Thursday at Salte Trusche!
Every Thursday afternoon at Salte Trusche from 3 to 5 p.m., time is dedicated to kids aged 7 to 10, who can experiment with various craft and artistic techniques, including weaving natural fibers, ceramics, macramé, bushcraft (e.g., creating charcoal for drawing with fire), and carving fresh wood.
The creative activity is designed to instill manual skills in children interested in acquiring them, while having fun and enjoying the joy of creating together, taking care of ourselves, others, and our materials.
The structured activity will be followed by a snack and spontaneous play for the girls who want to participate.
We will learn to distinguish healthy, quality materials from those that are short-lived and harmful to us and the environment, to repair and understand the life cycle of objects, to socialize and work in groups.
In the future, for the most enthusiastic, it will also be possible to educate ourselves on developing our passions in terms of economic sustainability with step-by-step training on how to start our own small experimental business, in a very relaxed way and with different levels of commitment depending on age.
