Forget the usual costumes and let the kids build their own spooky fortress from scratch. It is a fantastic collaborative project where recycled materials turn into secret passageways and bat-filled towers for a truly unique Halloween experience.

About
The Maurice Genevoix Library hosts a collaborative workshop for children aged 7 and up to build a spooky haunted castle using recycled materials on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. From 16:00 to 17:00, participants will craft mysterious towers, secret doors, and eerie creatures to assemble a unique, collective masterpiece. This creative session promotes recycling and teamwork while celebrating the Halloween spirit. The event is free of charge and fully accessible to wheelchair users and children with cognitive disabilities. It is a fantastic opportunity for young creators to express their artistic talents while working together on a larger project in the heart of the 18th arrondissement.
Using cardboard rolls and recycled materials, children will imagine together a large haunted castle populated with fantastic creatures.
Towers, mysterious windows, secret doors, mischievous ghosts, or nocturnal bats: everyone will be able to add their personal touch to this collective creation inspired by the world of Halloween.
Throughout the workshop, the various creations will be assembled to give life to a unique manor, built by all the participants.
This workshop raises awareness about reusing materials while encouraging creativity, cooperation, and artistic expression. By creating a collective work, children also discover the pleasure of building a project together that is larger than their individual creations.
