Kindergarten
In full shape
A game-visit in which children find the main geometric shapes hidden in the objects exhibited at the museum. Starting from these same shapes they will then create their own object, multi-form and multi-material, in the Educational Carpentry.
Duration: 2.5 hours
Max 25 participants per group ; possibility of dividing larger groups into subgroups.
Traditional games
A treasure hunt inside the exhibition space will lead children to discover traditional Aosta Valley games: tatà, galletti, tops, little animals and statuettes.
The students will then become craftsmen and, with the tools of the Educational Carpentry, will make a small tatà, a cornaille or a wooden cockerel.
Duration: 3 hours
Max 25 participants per group ; possibility of dividing larger groups into subgroups.
*This workshop is also available as a travelling workshop, directly in your classrooms
Let's weave the wool

Perfect fits

With twigs, bark, pine cones, wool and other materials that nature offers us, the little artisans are invited to change their point of view and test their manual skills and creativity to give life to bizarre little animals. An activity to develop the ability to abstract and simplify reality.

Hands in the toolbox
An experimental laboratory that explores with the young participants the relationship between raw materials and work tools. The purpose of the activity is not the creation of a finished product but rather the experimentation of manual skills, the relationship between tool and material and the management of challenges.
Duration: 3.5 hours
Max 25 participants per group ; possibility of dividing larger groups into subgroups.
From the forest to the object
The tree is a very precious element for our planet. But what is it for and how is it used by man? We will discover it through direct experience with educational-entertainment activities in the forest, the observation of a craftsman at work, a visit to the water sawmill and the exhibition spaces of the MAV. At the end of the day, the children will create their own object in the Educational Carpentry: a real journey “from the forest to the object”.
Duration: 6 hours (with bus available for the whole day).
Min. 10 and max. 25 participants per group ; possibility of dividing larger groups into subgroups.
*This activity can only be done from April to October.
