Family and kids’ classes at Silk Sense: A meaningful vacation experience

A holiday in Hoi An isn’t just a chance to unwind amid peaceful nature; it’s a precious opportunity for the whole family to engage in fun, healthy, and enriching activities together. At Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort, the workshops designed specifically for children and families are a unique highlight, turning an ordinary vacation into a memorable journey full of shared experiences. Surrounded by lush greenery, warm service, and hands-on cultural activities, Silk Sense offers creative classes that are both engaging and meaningful.

In this article, let’s explore four standout workshops at Silk Sense, where kids can develop new skills and parents can enjoy quality time with their little ones.

Hoi An lantern-making class – Preserving culture, strengthening bonds

When you think of Hoi An, the image of vibrant, colorful lanterns lining the ancient streets immediately comes to mind. Lanterns are an iconic symbol of Hoi An’s culture and spirit. At Silk Sense, the lantern-making workshop offers children and families a special chance to create one of these meaningful symbols with their own hands.

Held in an open, airy space, the class is led by skilled local artisans who guide participants through every step – from choosing a bamboo frame, wrapping silk, stretching and gluing, to decorating the lantern according to personal taste. It’s a lively lesson in patience, creativity, and craftsmanship.

What makes this workshop truly special is the interaction between family members. Parents actively support and join in the process with their children, creating a warm and joyful learning environment. The final result – a handmade lantern crafted by the child is a beautiful keepsake of a meaningful holiday.

Kid cooking class – Little chefs in a fun culinary space

If you’re looking for an activity that’s both educational and enjoyable for your child, the Kid Cooking Class at Silk Sense is an ideal choice. Unlike typical cooking sessions, this class is designed with a “learn through play” approach, fostering independence, teamwork, and creativity in a fun setting.

Children transform into little chefs, donning cute aprons and chef hats as they dive into making age-appropriate dishes. Popular recipes include mini pizzas, Vietnamese rice rolls, spring rolls, and sweet treats. Under the guidance of experienced chefs and with help from parents, children learn to prep ingredients, use basic kitchen tools, season dishes, and present their creations with flair.

Each class ends with a mini party, where the whole family gathers to share joy and taste the child’s culinary masterpieces. It’s how Silk Sense turns simple moments into cherished memories, filled with laughter and pride.

Painting class – A creative space that nurtures emotions

The painting class at Silk Sense provides the perfect environment for a child’s imagination to take flight. It’s where every brushstroke becomes a bridge between inner emotions and the world around them. Set in a garden or a naturally lit communal area, the class inspires both kids and parents alike.

Children are provided with all the essentials – paper, watercolor paints, brushes, and palettes. Friendly art instructors help them explore color mixing, layout composition, and how to express their feelings through art. Here, there’s no such thing as a “bad” painting, just confidence, self-expression, and the joy of trying something new.

Parents are encouraged to paint alongside their children, creating a unique family artwork that captures the essence of a wonderful holiday in Hoi An. These pieces become treasured keepsakes that help kids remember the beauty of their vacation through a child’s eyes.

Coconut leaf crafting class – Celebrating the charm of Vietnamese handicrafts

One of the most culturally rich and memorable workshops at Silk Sense is the coconut leaf crafting class. Using simple yet familiar materials from everyday Vietnamese life, the instructor transforms plain coconut leaves into beautiful creations like lotus flowers, fish, miniature conical hats, or grasshoppers.

Children learn folding, twisting, and shaping techniques that train their observation skills, meticulousness, and patience. Beyond that, the class offers a fun way to understand the cultural significance of traditional Vietnamese toys once common in rural villages. It’s like learning history without textbooks, but in a way that leaves a lasting impression.

Parents joining the class can also enjoy a moment of relaxation, laughing together as they create leaf art with their children. These moments of companionship strengthen family bonds and spark heartfelt conversations.

A journey of creativity, connection, and growth

The family-friendly workshops at Silk Sense Hoi An River Resort are more than just activities – they are soul-nourishing experiences that nurture creativity and foster connection across generations.
