Cardboard Contours

Get involved in a free family-friendly crafting project to build a large tabletop model of a remote landscape in the Cairngorms during the Easter holidays!

We're bringing the landscape to us! Join us in creating a collaborative 3D cardboard contour model of Loch A'an, a remote and difficult to access place deep in the Cairngorms Connect landscape. Through cutting, glueing and layering cardboard, an accurate topographical replica becomes something we can touch, imagine and learn about.

Drop-in anytime to one of five sessions we're running during the Easter holidays. Get involved, create cardboard creatures and invent your own little landscapes too! All materials are provided. Children need to be accompanied by an adult during these sessions.

 

Tickets: Free, drop in.
