Djeco Creative Workshop Moonlight Cyanotype, for 4 works of art, recommended age 7-99 years

The "In the Moonlight" creative workshop by Djeco is a magical activity inspired by a technique borrowed from photography: cyanotype. Using opaque patterns and natural elements of their choice, children create scenes on light-sensitive paper. After exposure to the sun, the paper is marked with negative patterns, and after being rinsed in a bath of clear water, the scene is revealed against an intense blue background.

The set offers nature-inspired patterns to create 4 nocturnal and poetic works of art. It is a completely new approach to illustration by printing patterns on acetate film, so that each creation becomes unique. Children gradually discover how sunlight transforms the light-sensitive paper and how water fixes the final image on the blue background characteristic of cyanotype.

The activity can be repeated thanks to cyanotype paper refills, sold separately under code DJ09338. Elegant laser-cut frames turn each creation into a true masterpiece, suitable for display in a child's room or as decoration. The content includes 4 laser-cut frames, 8 sheets of light-sensitive paper (21 x 28 cm), 85 patterns printed on acetate, a sheet of plexiglass, a sheet of double-sided stickers, and a color booklet with step-by-step instructions.

The recommended age is 7-99 years, which makes the set suitable for both older children and adults passionate about creative activities. WARNING: not suitable for children under 3 years old, contains small parts, choking hazard. To be used under the direct supervision of an adult. The product is manufactured by Djeco and encourages patience, observation of nature, and experimentation with light, offering the child a complete experience from preparing the patterns to framing the final result.
