Craftsmanship: children design bird feeding in Stainz

In the last week of the holiday, the Universal Museum at Castle Stainz took the opportunity to invite the cheeky roofing club to an exciting workshop. The target group are children between the ages of six and 14 who can dive into the world of nature and art here. The workshop contained both the handicrafts of a bird feeding place and visiting the renowned hunting museum.

The club has already established itself as a popular platform for young explorers. Under the guidance of Johannes Neuwirth, a specialist for cultural mediation, the children were taught how they can design a bird feeding office themselves. The materials used for this included wood panes, connecting cords and small plugs. Each participant could be creative by filling the drilled wooden slices with tit dumplings and attaching them to a stable frame. Such activities not only promote manual skills, but also sensitivity to nature.

interactive experiences in the hunting museum

Another highlight of the day was a visit on the first floor of the hunting museum. Here the children had the opportunity to marvel at the diverse preparations and to familiarize themselves with the animal noises. Maximum fun was guaranteed when looking through the telescope, while the children tried to recognize the voices of the wild animals. "I think it's great what I learned here," remarked Mathea (10), who had already participated in several events of the club.

Of course, a healthy snack could not be missing. The children not only had the opportunity to eat fresh bread, but also to delete butter on it and to decorate with chives. "It tasted very good," said Maximilian (9), who also tried a few nuts that were intended for the bird site.

A final note: The next workshop of the club is already in the starting blocks and will take place on November 9th. Everything revolves around the construction of nesting boxes, a great way for the children to continue to work practical and creatively and at the same time learn more about the domestic wildlife.
