Build Your Own Toys at the Bielefeld Farmhouse Museum: Creative Holiday Workshop for Children Aged 6 and Up
On August 26, 2026, the Bielefeld Farmhouse Museum invites kids to a participatory action that will get them moving: Create your own little games from wood and clay. From 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, it’s all about experimenting, designing, and learning with your hands – a family experience full of curiosity and fun learning.
Be Creative Together
The workshop is aimed at children aged 6 and up and combines crafting fun with age-appropriate cultural and material experiences. Kids will work with natural materials, discover shapes, sounds, and surfaces, and experience how something unique can emerge from simple materials. This promotes fine motor skills, imagination, and self-efficacy.
A Place That Makes Learning Come Alive
The Bielefeld Farmhouse Museum sees itself as an out-of-school learning location and offers educational programs for daycares, elementary schools, workshops, and family formats. The historical museum context makes the participatory action particularly tangible: children experience cultural history not only visually but with all their senses.
Family-Friendly Conditions
The museum is easily accessible by bus: Line 24 goes to the Bauernhausmuseum stop, from there it’s about a 4-minute walk. Those arriving by car can use the public parking at Johannisberg; directly at the museum, there are only disabled parking spaces. Parts of the grounds are accessible at ground level, including the outdoor areas, the main house's hall, the children's house, the café, and the restrooms at the café.
Practical Tip for Parents
For families, a relaxed look at time and equipment is worthwhile: the workshop runs without registration and is ideally suited for children who love to create freely, tinker, and try new things. Those wishing to extend their day can combine the museum visit with a café stop and round off the outing as a shared family experience.
Conclusion: This participatory action combines creative work, child-friendly learning, and a true museum experience. Those who want to give their children a special holiday day with wood, clay, and imagination will experience a lively workshop full of wonder and shared time.
