Welcome to the creative world!
Here, children bring their ideas to life by transforming wood into unique toys. In our workshops, we combine art, technology and crafts, providing a practical and fun experience. With safe and adapted tools, we encourage creativity, autonomy and the pleasure of learning by doing. Each project is an adventure, where imagination and construction meet. Join us and discover how creating can be magical! 🚀✨
About Me
I'm Ela, the founder of The Little Carpenters!
My adventure began with a deep love for creativity, hands-on learning, and helping children bring their ideas to life. With a background in philosophy, theater, and yoga, I spent years exploring how art, movement, and imagination can empower children to express themselves in meaningful ways.
The Little Carpenters is more than just a workshop — it’s a space where kids can experiment, create and build their own toys using a miniature carpentry machine for kids. Here, art, craft and technology come together to inspire problem-solving, confidence and creative freedom.
In addition to working with children, I also develop projects that use art therapy and hands-on learning to support communities, from schools to corporate team building experiences. My mission is to make creativity accessible to everyone, proving that with the right tools and guidance, anything is possible.
Let's build, imagine and create together!
Meet the fabulous crew behind the magic!
