A hole in a book provokes curiosity and surprise in us, it is a path to the next page, it is a game. What could be on the other side?

Let's play hide and seek!

We are going to discover what is hidden in a hole.

In this workshop I want to tell you about watercolor, one of the most used techniques in illustration. I bring you some illustrated albums with watercolors and some books that explain tricks and tips to us.

Finally, we will see how to make our own watercolors and become color alchemists!.

The forest is a common setting in children's literature. The forest as a place of adventure, as a labyrinth, or as a hiding place.

In this laboratory we discover the forest as a complex and wonderful living being that feels, communicates and cooperates. It is not just a setting, but also a main character.

Through some informative picture books we will discover that sometimes science releases enough magic to feed our imagination.

Today we are going to travel back to remote times to meet dinosaurs, mammoths and cave art.

And we are going to do it by following the trail of TRACES OF THE PAST.

We know that a trace is a mark left on the ground by an animal or person when stepping. Although other things can also leave traces, such as the wheel of a bicycle or a car.

Traces can give us clues if we know how to look at them.

For example, when we see animal traces in the mud, we will know that it passed by there a short time ago. If we pay attention to its shape, we will be able to find out how big it is or whether it is a mammal or a bird.

In today's laboratory we recall it to introduce the theme and the selection of illustrated albums for this session.

Throughout this laboratory we will be weaving connections between readings, elephants, balances, Alexander Calder and his moving sculptures.

Will we manage it?

This is a reading promotion activity through art and play, which we carry out in the MACA Library in Alicante, led by María Maraña and Va de cuentos. This year we dedicated our letter and image laboratories to mythical characters and some rather curious ones from stories, and that's why we couldn't miss the opportunity to focus on redheads. Yes, yes, you heard right. And it's striking how many characters with orange hair appear in stories. Have you ever noticed?

Think back, or review your library and you're sure to find more than one.
