PICCOLI ATTORI - workshop for kids (ages 5-8)

PICCOLI ATTORI at SullalunaNYC 🌙

Looking for a fun and creative activity for your little ones?

Join our theatre & art workshop where books come alive and children become the characters of a story!

In just 90 minutes, kids will play, learn, and explore their imagination, discovering how stories can turn into theatre and art.

Through classic illustrated tales, children (ages 5–8) will learn basic Italian vocabulary, bring the story to life on stage, and craft their own props and characters in the art lab.

🗓 First date: Wednesday, December 3rd

🕔 Time: 5:00–6:30 PM

90-Minute Project Structure:

1. Warm-Up & Icebreakers (10 minutes):
