LOCAL families are invited to celebrate Children’s Week at two fun events on the Surf Coast next week.<\/p>\n

The Surf Coast Shire council will be hosting community events at Elephant Walk Park in Torquay on Tuesday, October 22 and at Helen M Kininmonth Kindergarten in Winchelsea on Thursday, October 24.<\/p>\n

The Torquay event will feature a Welcome to Country, pop-up activity stalls with creative craft and sensory experiences, and a science show.<\/p>\n

Winchelsea eventgoers will participate in a healthy snack activity, sensory experiences, creative crafts and nature play.<\/p>\n

“Young children have had a ball at these events in previous years, so be sure to save the date and come along,” shire chief executive officer Robyn Seymour said.<\/p>\n

“We know play is invaluable for kids, which is why there is a diverse range of activities on offer at both of these events. Most importantly, there’s plenty of fun to be had by all.”<\/p>\n

This year’s Children’s Week theme is ‘children have the right to a clean and safe environment’.<\/p>\n

The Torquay event will run from 10am-12pm, and Winchelsea celebrations will go from 1pm-3pm.<\/p>\n
