About

In the workshop, children and adults get acquainted with the history of lighthouses and immediately transfer it into creativity: from simple paper cups, their own maritime sign is born. Working with their hands develops imagination and patience, while the warm family format turns the evening into a small journey to the sea that will be remembered for a long time. It is easy to imagine the sea, even when in the library, if the outlines of a lighthouse created by one's own hands appear before the eyes. The creative workshop is designed for children aged seven to ten and their parents who want to spend an evening together engaged in an activity that combines play, imagination, and careful manual labor. At the beginning of the meeting, participants learn why lighthouses are needed, how they differ from each other, and what lights help ships find their way in fog and bad weather. Simple stories about sea voyages make the topic understandable for younger schoolchildren, turning dry facts into vivid images and small plots. Then the group moves on to practice: from ordinary paper cups, glue, and colored paper, a bright tower with windows, stripes, and fire on top is born. The kids learn to work step by step, fit details, agree on colors and the arrangement of elements, while adults become attentive helpers and observers of how the child expresses character and taste. In just one hour, each participant has a small maritime souvenir that can be taken home, placed on a shelf, or given to a loved one. Such an activity develops fine motor skills, spatial thinking, patience, and the ability to see a task through to completion, while also helping to relieve tension after a school day and filling the ordinary environment with a sense of celebration. The "Family Evening" format makes the event convenient for those looking for a calm and warm reason to get out of the house with their child. It is a time when adults and children find themselves at the same table, looking at the common result and understanding that the lighthouse created from simple materials symbolizes their own support and the reliable light that can always be found nearby.
