THIS IS MY DRAWING

Sheep, rabbits and beavers ... their fur is used to make beautiful hats.
In this pedagogical workshop, the children are invited to recreate the fur of one of these animals using different creative techniques and a wide variety of recyclable materials.

FLUFFY ANIMALS

Did you know that with rabbit’s fur and sheep’s wool we can create felt hats?
From the contents of the long term exhibition and the reuse of textile materials, the visitors are challenged to give wings to their imagination and create fluffy animals.

HATS WITH PERSONALITY

Who doesn't know the Cook’s hat? And of the Fireman? And what about the hat of the Policeman, the Witch, the Princess or even the sleeper hat? There so many hats that can take us to a dream and fantasy world.
In this activity, each visitor has to choose one hat and embody its personality. Then the group will participate in a funny game... or drama?

THE GEOMETRY OF THE MACHINES

With rectangles, triangles, diamonds and many other geometric shapes, we can build curious machines.
In this workshop, the visitors are challenged to (de)construct mentally a machine into several small pieces. Afterwards, they will be asked to combine different shapes and colours in order to (re)build that same machine… or maybe not!
