The fairies have gathered around the cradle, and their gifts are activities and workshops for all the children.
On the program: Kamishibai storytelling for children under 7 and a creative workshop for older children.
Kamishibai
Through this small picture-story theater of Japanese origin, children discover stories inspired by the world of fairies and elves through colorful and poetic illustrations. Two stories are offered, tailored to different age groups, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in a world of dreams, magic, and adventure:
10:45 a.m. The Forest of Enchanted Dreams (ages 2–4)
11:30 a.m. The Fairy’s Philosophy (ages 4–6)
“Forest Fairies” Creative Workshop
Inspired by the legends and the wondrous world that inhabits the Royal Fortress of Chinon, children discover the close ties between fairies, nature, and the little folk. Using plants, they craft fairies and elves and take home their creations, along with ideas for natural Christmas tree decorations.
