Little Dream 'Home': 'Orange Miracle' Picture Book Workshop

Highlights

In this imaginative and creative parent-child workshop, children will be taken on a journey through the picture book 'The Orange Miracle.' Following the protagonist, Mr. Meadow, participants will learn how to break away from an ordinary, monotonous living environment and reimagine their own 'Dream Home.' It is more than just a storytime session; it is an artistic initiation into space design and creativity that encourages families to explore the infinite possibilities of life together.

Program

The workshop begins with a storytelling session guided by 'Giraffe' from the Green Feet Family Book Club, who will delve into the world of 'The Orange Miracle' and discuss the meaning of 'home.' After the story, children will step into the shoes of mini-architects. Using a variety of paper boxes and crafting materials, they will create their own personalized 'Dream Home.' This process empowers children to express their ideas boldly while fostering focus and creativity through hands-on crafting.
