On Sunday, 13 December 2026, we close our series “Little Hands, Big Stories”. In the festive season the children will make a gift with their own hands for someone they love — from the greeting card to the bag they wrap it in.

When and where

• Date: Sunday, 13 December 2026
• Time: 2–4 pm
• Place: the yurt at Lunina dolina, Destrnik — directions to the yurt and parking information are sent by e-mail
• Registration: required, by Saturday, 12 December, 6 pm

What the children will make

• A greeting card from carded wool — soft, colourful wool and a little glue turn into a warm festive card.
• A gift bag — they decorate a paper bag their own way and wrap their gift in it themselves.

Those who finish early can also make a fragrant mandarin: pressing cloves into the fruit creates a natural festive decoration that scents the whole house — and it can go straight into the bag next to the card.

The children do all the work themselves, from start to finish. As they work, we will talk about giving and gratitude: that the most beautiful gift is not necessarily bought, but made with your own hands and with someone else in mind.

Who it is for

• Age: children aged 4 to 10
• Language: the workshop is held in Slovenian, and in English whenever needed — our team speaks Slovenian and English and understands German well
• Supervision: the workshop is designed for children to create on their own — parents drop them off and pick them up at the end. If a younger child is not yet ready to stay without a parent, we can arrange with the mentor for a parent to stay; just let us know when you register.
• Places: 15 children — places are filled in order of registration
• Price: €10 per child, including all materials and a snack — payment on site

Snack

While they create, the children get warm tea and a light snack — some fresh and dried fruit, bread and cheese. If your child has an allergy or special dietary needs, please let us know when you register. When you pick up your children, there is tea for parents too.

What to wear and bring

• Warm, comfortable clothes that can get a little messy
• Shoes for grass and mud — we walk across the farm to the yurt
• Slippers or warm socks — we take our shoes off in the yurt
• Curiosity and a good mood ♡

With our mentor Hadeja

We run the workshops together with Hadeja Adeva Horvat, an experienced Waldorf kindergarten teacher from Zavod Livija, an organisation that supports empowered and caring families. Hadeja leads the workshops as mentor; we take care of the space, the materials and the warmth of the yurt.
