Advent Creativity at the House of Nature: Turning Old into a Personal Gift

The Advent workshop at the House of Nature in Bonn combines crafting fun, sustainability, and winter anticipation into a unique event experience. On Saturday, November 21, 2026, children and adults will transform old newspapers, natural finds, and lots of imagination into new cardboard, small artworks, and individual Christmas gifts.

Upcycling with a Real Hands-on Atmosphere

The course focuses on hands-on work rather than just watching. The main focus is on waste reduction, recycling, and the joy of creating something personal from seemingly worthless items. This makes the Advent workshop particularly attractive for families looking for a meaningful and creative experience during the pre-Christmas season. The House of Nature provides the materials, and the finished works may be taken home.
