Children will be empowered to whittle their own sticks and craft a naturally woven creation to take home. This special event is targeted at children aged 6+ years and is adapted from our popular school program.Our beautiful loose parts bell tent will also feature on the day, along with an area for construction and free play with natural loose parts for younger children accompanying registered siblings on the day. You’re welcome to bring a picnic and explore the Botanic Garden after your session!
