A Gift from Little Hands – a festive workshop

What the children will make
A greeting card from carded wool
Soft, colourful wool and a little glue turn into a warm festive card.
A gift bag
They decorate a paper bag their own way and wrap their gift in it themselves.
A fragrant mandarin
Those who finish early press cloves into the fruit — a natural festive decoration that scents the whole house and can go straight into the bag next to the card.
From start to finish
The children do all the work themselves, from start to finish — from the greeting card to the wrapped gift.
On giving and gratitude
As they work, we will talk about giving and gratitude.
The most beautiful gift
A gift the children make for someone they love.
The most beautiful gift is not necessarily bought, but made with your own hands and with someone else in mind.
Who it is for
children aged 4 to 10
per child, payment on site — including all materials and a snack
for children — places are filled in order of registration
Language. The workshop is held in Slovenian, and in English whenever needed — our team speaks Slovenian and English and understands German well.
Supervision. The workshop is designed for children to create on their own — parents drop them off and pick them up at the end. If a younger child is not yet ready to stay without a parent, we can arrange with the mentor for a parent to stay; just let us know when you register.
Snack
While they create, the children get warm tea and a light snack — some fresh and dried fruit, bread and cheese. If your child has an allergy or special dietary needs, please let us know when you register. When you pick up your children, there is tea for parents too.

With our mentor Hadeja
We run the workshops together with Hadeja Adeva Horvat, an experienced Waldorf kindergarten teacher from Zavod Livija, an organisation that supports empowered and caring families. Hadeja leads the workshops as mentor; we take care of the space, the materials and the warmth of the yurt.
