Preschoolers are given a guided tour by Christoffel Plantin and his daughter Martina, two fantastic hand puppets. They each tell their own story and invite the children to solve puzzles, dress up, sing, laugh and get moving.
Christoffel talks about his house and the differences between life in the past and today. His daughter Martina is a curious little girl who tells the children all about letters and the hard work done in the printing workshop.
90 minutes (2 x 40 minutes and a 10 minute break)
A class of around 24 children is divided into two groups, with 12 children going with Christoffel and 12 with Martina. They then switch groups. This tour therefore requires two guides.
The tour covers the ground floor. Your ticket is valid for the rest of the day, so you can visit the rest of the museum.
