La scatola magica

I create a space just for me: reading and creative workshop for children aged 3 to 6

The Culture Department of the City of Feltre proposes two workshops aimed at children aged 3 to 6 within the project Born to Read, a national program to promote reading aimed at families with children aged 0 to 6 years.

The first meeting will be held on wednesday, February 25 from 3 to 4:30 PM and will be dedicated to the 3-6 age group.

The workshop will start with the discovery of the illustrated story The Magic Box by Komako Sakai, where little Riko, who cannot play due to her brother's bullying, receives a beautiful cardboard box from her mother that gradually becomes, with the help of scissors, fabric, balls of yarn, and a little bit of imagination, a new home all for herself.

Taking inspiration from this story, we will then propose a workshop that is a tribute to true play, where the child is the main protagonist who, from the nothingness of recycled materials, guided by their own imagination, will create a space just for themself, where they can express their uniqueness and originality.

Participation in the workshop is free, but registration at the Feltrino Library Polo is mandatory until the limit of 15 participants is reached: biblioteca@comune.feltre.bl.it, 0439/885244.

The program, developed together with the Cultural Pediatric Association, the Italian Library Association, and the Center for Child Health, offers free of charge to families with children up to 6 years old reading activities that constitute an important experience for the cognitive development of children and for the development of parents' abilities to grow with their children. 

The activities are carried out with the economic contribution of the Center for Book and Reading, the Regions, the Provinces, and the Municipalities participating in the program, and thanks to the work of childhood operators and volunteers.
