Wir hatten Axel zum Türschilder bauen gebucht. Alle zehn Kinder, im Alter von 4-10 Jahren, waren mit voller Begeisterung von Anfang bis Ende dabei. Ein großes Lob an Axel und seine Frau Leonie, die zwei haben das Herz am rechten Fleck und haben allen Kindern einen mega schönen Nachmittag ermöglicht. Nur weiter zu empfehlen.

Wir hatten Axel eingeladen zum Raketenbasteln am 8. Geburtstag unseres Sohnes.
Es war klasse!!! Die Kinder hatten viel Spaß und waren eifrig und engagiert bei der Sache. Axel bringt alle notwendigen Materialien mit, leitet die Kinder super an und ist sehr nett.
Es war ein toller Nachmittag, an dem alle viel Spaß hatten. Unser Sohn war begeistert.
Vielen Dank!

Wir hatten Axel zum Raketenbauen mit zehn 7-8-jährigen Jungs gebucht. Der Raketenbau war für die Kinder einerseits eine Herausforderung, andererseits auch gut zu schaffen. Wenn ein, zwei Erwachsene beim Bau der Wasserrakete nach Bedarf noch ein wenig unterstützen können, ist sichergestellt, dass alle zusammen fertig werden. Das anschließende Ausprobieren der selbstgebauten Raketen war spektakulär und eine tolle Belohnung für die Arbeit der Kinder. Die Materialien sind von Axel sehr gut vorbereitet und er hat ein prima Händchen für die Kinder.

We booked Axel to build rockets with ten 7-8 year old boys. Building rockets was a challenge for the children on the one hand, but also easy to do on the other. If one or two adults can provide a little support as needed when building the water rocket, this will ensure that everyone can finish it together. Trying out the homemade rockets afterwards was spectacular and a great reward for the children's work. The materials are very well prepared by Axel and he has a great hand with the children.

Auch wir haben einen wirklich tollen Kindergeburtstag in Axel Lührmanns Hof/seiner Werkstatt erlebt. Ausnahmslos alle Kinder (8/9 Jahre) waren begeistert von den verschiedenen Laubsäge- und Holzarbeitsangeboten und haben dementsprechend konzentriert und mit Freude gearbeitet.
Auch für unsere kleine Tochter (3 Jahre) wurde spontan und flexibel eine Beschäftigung gefunden. Wir als Eltern haben die Gruppe ein klein wenig bei den Malarbeiten unterstützt, aber Herr Lührmann und seine Partnerin haben alle Kinder zu jedem Zeitpunkt bestens begleitet.
Vielen Dank - wir werden Sie empfehlen und/oder gerne wiederkommen!
