Learning through play through imaginative reuse
Always wanted to build a time travel machine? Or would you rather build a flying vacuum cleaner boot, a cabin or a marble track? Nothing is impossible, you can build anything from your imagination, let's face it; that's great, right? Come discover what it's like to build with materials that were about to be thrown away. Think wooden planks, PVC pipes, car tires, kettles, toasters, etc. Please note, the fun is building something, everything is re-used again and again by FantaMagie.
FantaMagie
FantaMagie is an initiative of Ilona Bijsterveld. Her life is largely dedicated to children, youth and young people, both in her work and in her role as a mother. She is a mother herself from 2 sons ; Samuel (2025) en Mathias (2021) While raising and growing up her eldest son, in combination with her work experience in various positions, she asked herself; 'What do children need?!', 'How did I play when I was a child?' 'What do I want to offer my own child, but also other children?'. Here the beautiful concept 'FantaMagie' has been rolled out. She does her work with great pleasure, passion and enthusiasm! Her heart starts beating faster by seeing; how the materials are given a new meaning every time from the imagination of children, what beautiful creations are thought up and made again and again!
