Get advice from Punainen taidekatos 

What fun activities are on today? Come and visit Punainen taidekatos to find out!

Punainen taidekatos is located to the right of Sininen talo. You’ll find staff there – and maybe even your lost cap among the lost and found items. Under the canopy, you can take a break from the sun with access to drinking water, tables, chairs, high chairs, and a microwave for heating your own food. Basic first aid supplies are also available for minor summer scrapes.

We also offer painting supplies for independent art activities which are also available.

Creative activities for artists of their own lives

The creative activities will feature changing themes of different crafts like: traditional bark boats, clay figures and paper dolls, and colourful stick art. Depending on the theme, the activities will take place in the playground's birch circle or in the Punainen taidekatos, where you will also find painting supplies for your own art projects.

Participate in inspiring workshops

What is your favorite coulour? Come and write a poem about it and to be inspired by other colours while you are making creative writing. Or would adventure course, playing in a group and dancing be more of your thing? So jump on to motion adventure! In June, you can join the Moving Summer Playschool and also spot an art cart moving around the park, where you can try out a colourful mini-felting craft.
