Alphabuleux is a place of wonder, an adventurous but inviting installation that invites the little ones to discover, touch, put together, make. And they do this with funny shapes that we adults call 'letters'.

Our alphabet constantly changes shape in their play. In this gigantic alphabet, they sometimes make a hut, sometimes a car or a real machine. Letters on wheels, sensory carpets and various materials form a gigantic alphabet of colors and shapes. Alphabuleux is an artistic and poetic invitation, a wonderful moment of sensory discovery and interplay for toddlers and their (grand)parents.

About the company

Marie Coppens and Marie-Ghislaine Losseau met within the Patrimoine à roulettes collective. Marie is a trained scenographer and loves models, the laser cutter, beautiful colors and artistic challenges.  Marie-Ghislaine is a self-taught visual artist. Both driven by the same pleasure in imagining, inventing and creating, they had dreamed of collaborating together on an artistic project aimed at little ones for some time. A project that would bring together their experiences as scenographers, visual artists, cultural mediators and all their creative desires: Alphabuleux!
