Little Gardeners: Exploring the Kitchen Garden

Mini Chefs: Sicilian Cooking Classes
Kids can get their hands dirty learning how to make traditional Sicilian pizza. Can you make a face shape with the toppings?
Creative Minds: Nature-Inspired Art and Craft Classes
Verdù the hedgehog is the mascot of Verdura Resort. Kids can get creative painting, glueing, sticking and making the biggest collage they can. Can you make a sculpture of Verdù using recycled materials?
