Hard hats on — it's time to build bold ideas! These school holidays, Queensland Museum Cobb+Co becomes a buzzing construction zone where ordinary boxes turn into extraordinary creations. Children aged 3-12 can explore their creativity using safe assembly tools to bring their own inventions to life. This engaging workshop encourages imagination and hands-on learning in a fun, supportive environment.
Participants will use tools like saws, scorers, screws, and fasteners to assemble and connect materials into unique designs. From secret spy gadgets to wearable creations, kids can either take inspiration from provided prototypes or invent their own masterpieces. All materials and tools are supplied, with tools remaining in the workshop for safety. A sensory friendly session with reduced sound is available for children who prefer a calmer experience.
This workshop is designed for children aged 3-12, with those under 5 requiring adult assistance. All children must be accompanied by an adult to ensure safety and support. Sessions run across three days with multiple time slots each day, allowing families to choose the most convenient time. The workshop fosters creativity, problem-solving, and fine motor skills in a lively and educational setting.
The event takes place at Queensland Museum Cobb+Co, located at 27 Lindsay St, Toowoomba City QLD 4350. The venue offers family-friendly facilities including a cafe, carpark, coach parking, parents room, and public toilets. It is accessible and welcoming to all families visiting the Toowoomba region.
