Upon arrival at the Maritime Museum's educational session, the staff-educators start their educational activities at the museum with a short story about weathervanes, their meaning and purpose. Then children receive the primary blanks of the weathervanes, which they colour, decorate, and beautify in connection with their own or their family ’s lives. The weathervane is an integral part of the daily life of the coastal inhabitants and the accent of the homestead decoration. After the educational activity, there is a discussion, reflection with the children, proper attention is paid to receive feedback from the children. Children receive their own handmade decorated weathervanes as gifts.
