Naracoorte Library promising a wild school holiday program

Regardless of the weather winter might throw up over the next fortnight, the Naracoorte Library has put together a calendar of school holiday events to keep kids not only entertained, but warm and dry.

Craft activities dominate the two week program, with Caves storytime providing inspiration this Tuesday, while birds will be the theme of Wednesday’s craft session.

Thursday will see turtles in focus with wool the material of choice, while Friday’s session will be all about creating koalas from newspaper cuttings.

All sessions run from 9am to 4pm.

The weekend is all about Virtual Reality with bookings essential for the Saturday sessions which run from 9am and will run side by side with some more craft activities.

Native animals will be in the house on Monday, July 17, from 12-1pm, with Animals Anonymous (pictured) offering the chance for kids, aged five and up, to get up close and personal with some of our native fauna with bookings again essential.

The craft focus continues in week two with Tuesday’s 10am-12pn session looking at creating an emu on canvas with chalk or paint, Wednesday’s 9am to 4pm session creating platypus bookmarks, Thursday’s 10am session seeing Nicole Johnson talking to the kids about nocturnal animals with some colouring activities on the agenda, while Friday’s session is all about the Black Cockatoo with a presentation from Landscape SA with a more complex craft for kids aged 10 and up on offer.

Saturday sees a return to the Virtual Reality opportunities
