Tales, gnomes and fairy fun these holidays

CHILDREN can stretch their imaginations and creative skills at Moorabool Libraries throughout the April school holidays.

Art and craft sessions looking at fairytales, gnomes and castles are on the holiday program, as are painting sessions guided by a faciliator.

In true library style, there will be storytelling sessions on ‘twisted tales’, and illustrator Marc McBride will lead a drawing workshop.

Moorabool Libraries staff are aiming to create a family-friendly and inclusive environment that can keep children of all ages thinking and entertained while they are away from kindergarten or school for the break.

Moorabool Shire mayor Cr Steve Venditti Taylor said the program will be fun and accessible for everyone.

“School holidays can be a busy time for parents, so it’s great to be able to offer a program that keeps kids entertained, active and learning,” Cr Venditti Taylor said.

“With creative workshops, stories and hands on activities, there’s no chance of kids being bored these holidays, and it’s a wonderful way for families to enjoy everything our local libraries have to offer.”

All the events, including other hands on and play-based interactive activities, will be held between next Tuesday 7 April and Friday 17 April at either Bacchus Marsh or Ballan Library, and they are are either free to attend or low in cost.
