From childhood, we play at building houses with cushions, blankets, or cardboard boxes. Size and materials don't matter: a house can be any place where we feel safe, where we can imagine, create, and be.

In the Laboratory of Letters and Images: The House, we explored the profound meaning this symbol holds in childhood. Through stories, images, and play spaces, we discovered that a house is not just a roof or walls, but also an emotional place: a refuge, a starting point, a home.

This laboratory was an invitation to look at the house with fresh eyes, through art, play, and children's literature. The house in children's play is a symbol with multiple and profound meanings, ranging from security and refuge to autonomy and creative projection. It represents both a physical place and an emotional space, providing children with a vehicle to explore their inner world and the environment surrounding them.

During the first stage of childhood, knowledge of the world and of oneself is acquired through the experience provided by the senses.For this reason, it is fundamental that we provide stimulation for each of the senses individually, but also together, since they are not isolated from one another.These laboratories are a field of learning and discovery and an opportunity to showcase high-quality books both for what they tell and for how they tell it. From 5 to 12 years old.With the support of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Universities and EmploymentIn collaboration with: Provincial Council of Alicante
