School holiday activity: Our Treasures, your treasures - 28 January, 10:30am

This holidays, we stepped into the magic of our recently refreshed Treasures Gallery. We discovered some of the Library’s most fascinating objects, then let our imaginations take over!

In this hands-on craft session, kids designed and decorated their very own keepsake box to safely store and display their personal treasures. A celebration of creativity, history and self-expression, this activity invited young makers to turn inspiration into something special to take home.

All craft materials were supplied. 

This activity was suitable for children 6 to 10 years of age. 

Each ticket was for one child workshop participant. Adult supervision was required, but carers did not need to book a ticket for themselves.

There was also an afternoon session at 2:00pm.
