Dive into a fun and interactive after school series designed especially for children aged 5 to 10. This event blends traditional literacy skills with creative expression, encouraging kids to connect with popular children's stories in a hands-on way. Each session inspires children to create unique artwork using mixed materials, making the stories come alive.
Children will leave each session proud of their own artistic creation, fostering both a love of reading and creativity. It's a wonderful opportunity for young minds to engage with literature beyond the page.
This program is perfect for parents looking to enrich their child's literacy journey with an artistic twist, all in a supportive library environment.
The event takes place on Thursday, 13 August 2026, from 16:00 to 17:00. It is free of charge, but places are limited, so booking is essential to secure a spot.
