About
Join the Halloween spirit at the Maurice Genevoix library on Thursday, October 29, 2026. This creative workshop invites children aged 6 and up to craft their own monster figures using recycled tin cans. Through painting and collage, kids bring wacky creatures to life before using them in an exciting game of target practice. This free activity is wheelchair accessible and adapted for children with cognitive disabilities. Running from 16:00 to 17:00, it is a fun way to boost creativity and motor skills. Make sure to reserve your spot in advance with the library staff to participate in this seasonal event.
Before knocking them down, you have to invent them first!
Children will transform simple tin cans into colorful monsters, prankster ghosts, or wacky creatures using paint, collage, and their imagination.
Once the monsters are finished, it's game time: the creations will be used to build a real Halloween knockdown game to test with the family.
This workshop combines recycling, artistic creation, and play. A fun way to develop motor skills, imagination, and creativity while discovering that an object destined for recycling can become a work of art... and then a game!
Our take on this event
The Maurice Genevoix library hosts a special session called Graine d'artiste Halloween on Thursday, October 29, 2026. From 16:00 to 17:00, children aged 6 and older are invited to repurpose everyday items into playful monsters.

This workshop encourages artistic expression and fine motor skills, showing how recycled materials can be transformed into both art and play. It is a completely free session designed to be inclusive, with full wheelchair accessibility and specific accommodations for children with cognitive disabilities.
