Spend an afternoon watching your child light up with creativity at this fun, hands-on beaded bracelet workshop held at Haberfield Library. This after-school activity is designed to be accessible, playful and perfect for school-aged children who love to make and share their creations.
Children will be guided by friendly library facilitators through the whole bracelet-making process, from choosing colourful beads to threading and finishing each piece. The session emphasises creativity, fine motor skill development and social play in a safe library environment.
Expect a calm but lively atmosphere where kids can try new patterns and connect with peers. This is an ideal after-school activity for parents looking for engaging, low-cost options that promote arts and crafts skills and imaginative play.
Practical details include:
- Ages: 5-12
- Session length: approximately 1 hour
- Materials: beads, elastic/thread and clasps provided
The workshop focuses on simple beading techniques suitable for primary-school children, with facilitators offering one-on-one help when needed. Children will design and thread bracelets, learning basic patterning and colour-matching as part of the craft experience.
This is a structured but relaxed session that balances guided instruction with time for independent creativity. Parents can expect their children to leave with finished wearable art and boosted confidence from completing a creative project.
