Farm animals
Animals have always exercised great charm and interest on children, however you do not always have the opportunity to see them live and above all to interact with them.
In the workshops of the Cason delle Meraviglie Cristina tells the participants about the farm animals and teaches adults and children to relate to them. It will be fascinating to discover the characteristics of the various animals, their needs, how they live and what they eat.
A Farmer's Day
In this workshop Grandfather Luigino makes the participants try hand milking and teaches the tricks of this old tradition.
You get to know the cows and all the animals of the farm: horses, ponies, mule, goats, sheep, piglets, chickens, geese and all 2-legged animals!
The grandfather also explains how he gets heard by the beasts and how to behave with them.
And finally, we then move on to making cheese and butter just like we used to do!
The Lower Court Animals
With the laboratory of decorated eggs Cristina leads the participants in the Highland tradition of rogation and in the legend of the cuchi. Eggs are decorated with natural colors and herbs, giving space to creativity.
In the hands in pasta workshop Cristina teaches to knead, color and prepare really special cookies.
