Christmas Workshop GINGERBREAD HOUSE DECORATING

Parents with young children from the Trakai district gathered for the Christmas workshop—gingerbread house decorating—at lightning speed! 🎄🍪
We welcomed Christmas in a creative and cozy way! This unique event was designed for parents with children aged 3 to 6. 🍪

The workshop was led by professional gingerbread artisans from Vilniaus Meduoliai, who shared their secrets and taught participants how to create small masterpieces with simple tools.
Each child had the opportunity to unleash their imagination and decorate a gingerbread house with colorful sprinkles, icing, and other tasty treats.
It was an incredibly warm and friendly environment for little ones, where they could express their creativity. The decorated gingerbread houses could be taken home as a festive highlight or a sweet gift.

An Interactive Children's Book Presentation

We are delighted to share moments from the recently held multicultural event – the presentation of the book How the Little Animals Learned to Live in Lithuanian and Polish! This event was a special opportunity to meet the author, Ieva Bosaitė-Bliūdžienė, and the illustrator, Ieva Šeršniovienė, who together immersed children and their parents in a magical world of fairy tales.

The book How the Little Animals Learned to Live captivated the hearts of the young audience with its heartfelt stories and helped convey essential values – compassion, friendship, and love for nature. Enthusiastic children eagerly engaged in creative activities, illustrating their own booklets and sharing ideas of how they envision the world of fairy tales.

The event also featured illustrator Ieva Šeršniovienė, who shared her creative secrets and demonstrated how vibrant illustrations and playful stickers can nurture children’s creativity and curiosity in learning letters.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who participated and hope that this inspiring gathering will encourage young readers to continue exploring the vast world of literature.

On August 25, parents with their little ones were invited to a special event—Parents’ Breakfast with physiotherapist Monika Karvelytė. During this event, not only did they enjoy a delicious breakfast, but they also gained valuable tips on meaningful activities to do with their children at home.

The event took place in an unconventional, cozy Karaim café, where attendees could not only savor delightful breakfasts but also immerse themselves in a cultural environment that promotes dialogue and communication among families from various cultures.

Physiotherapist Monika shared her knowledge about activities that help develop children's motor skills, creativity, and communication abilities. Parents learned simple ways to enrich their daily lives and create fun and beneficial activities for their children.

Talent Selection

This week, the Trakai District Municipality Public Library warmly welcomed us for a meaningful meeting with the Trakai community. A special THANK YOU goes to Kristina Serapinienė for dedicating her time to us and to Aurimas Rimai for capturing playful photo moments.

During the free event, Skaistė Vievesė presented the idea and event plan of the multicultural project aimed at engaging parents with young children living in the Trakai district. Through theatrical games, we had a great time, allowing children's creative abilities to shine, while parents gained knowledge of new games that will help children express their talents at home.
