Christmas with Abi le Singe : Story Reading & Decoration Workshop
Story Telling x DIY Christmas Hanging Wreath for Preschoolers
With positive feedback from the previous preschooler event, we have decided to hold a reading-and-handcraft workshop specifically for
young kids. In the one-hour workshop, the talented creators Ô Fil de Lau will take
us on a journey into the story of "2000 ans de sagesse : une aventure d'Abi le singe
(2000 Years of Wisdom: An Adventure of Abi the Monkey)".
Accompanied by the author Karine Yoakim Pasquier, and through the
traditional Japanese art kamishibai (紙芝居), children will dive into the story's
universe - narrated in French and in English. Following this, they will have the opportunity to unleash
their creative spirit by designing their very own Christmas hanging wreath (la
couronne de Noël) under
professional guidance. Inspired by the delightful story of Abi the Monkey, these wreaths will incorporate elements that make the
adventure come alive.
If your kids are eager to combine the joy of reading with the excitement of crafting a unique Christmas decoration, don't miss out on this
chance to ignite their passion for reading and nurture their artistic talents in an unforgettable workshop experience!
