Younger kids - aged 2 to 7:

Little Gardeners: Exploring the Kitchen Garden

La Cassetta Nell’Orto is our little patch of paradise, an organic kitchen garden surrounded by olive trees. Kids can explore with a gardener, and discover how something as small as a seed can flourish and end up on their plates. How many different vegetables can you find?

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?
