With Fire, Wood, and Imagination: A True Family Experience in Karlsruhe
When children create something of their own from a piece of wood, wonder, laughter, and valuable time together arise. In the workshop Creative with Wood - Fire Branding and Carving, children aged 8 and up explore traditional craftsmanship techniques at the Nature Conservation Center Karlsruhe-Rappenwört and experience nature in a hands-on way.
Making Fire like in the Wild
At the beginning, participants collectively ignite a fire using flint and natural tinder. They learn age-appropriately how fire is created and what rules apply for safe handling of flames. The combination of nature experience, attentiveness, and practical guidance boosts self-confidence, sense of responsibility, and curiosity.
Creating a Personal Favorite Piece from Wood
Using the embers as well as carving and sanding techniques, participants create an individual wooden spoon or their own bowl. New ideas are also encouraged to be tried out. The manual work promotes fine motor skills, concentration, perseverance, and creative thinking. Each piece tells the story of the individual learning experience and makes the family experience tangible.
Age-Appropriate Guidance by Emilia Bauer
The workshop is led by Emilia Bauer, an environmental and wilderness educator. She is a geographer, wilderness educator, and holds a Master's in Biodiversity and Environmental Education. In her work, she accompanies groups of various ages in discovering nature and the forest, making fire, and engaging in creative activities. Her educational approach combines self-determination, connection to nature, and practical learning experiences.
Shared Time for Children and Parents
The workshop is aimed at children aged 8 and up. Parents may also participate if interested. This creates a relaxed opportunity to be craftily active together, support each other, and experience intensive quality time away from screens.
Conclusion: Experience Nature, Show Skills, Create Something of Your Own
What awaits visitors is a creative afternoon filled with fire, wood, movement, and visible successes. Children gain practical experience, work with their hands, and take home a self-created piece of work. Families looking to connect nature, learning fun, and genuine craftsmanship will find a special children's program here in Karlsruhe.
