Felt Your Own Sauna Hat from Wool

Welcome to create your very own woolen sauna hat! This workshop offers a wonderful opportunity for a child and an adult to enjoy making something together. We will begin by learning the basics of felting through a small introductory project: felting a bar of soap inside wool. After that, each participant will make their own sauna hat using a mold of their choice, such as a mixing bowl. The sauna hat will be fully felted during the workshop. Final drying will take place at home and will take approximately 2 to 3 days. Please bring: A mixing bowl or another waterproof container that fits your head and can be used as a mold for the sauna hat A plastic bag No previous experience is required.

Children's weekend: Teatteri Tuomikko play: Kukkuu, missä kuu?

A baby theatre performance combining hide-and-seek, lift-the-flaps, and the wonders of puppet theatre. Just a moment ago it was here, but now it's nowhere to be seen. Has the moon gone into hiding? Let's count to three and find the moon! But the moon has found a really good hiding spot, and it takes many 'peek-a-boos' and peeks before the moon comes out of hiding. This performance, designed for babies and toddlers, brings the familiar lift-the-flaps from picture books and the wonders of puppet theatre into a game of hide-and-seek. With the help of their own adult, participants get to be part of a game where peeking is key. During the performance, participants sit loosely on the floor, child and adult together. The performer may move among the participants, but adults won't be put on the spot; instead, they can enjoy the performance and interaction with the little ones. The aim of the performance is to give the youngest members of the family their first theatre experience gently and safely.
