Stories and surprises
Engage with intriguing collection items and enjoy the magic of stories at the BIG Library.
With four new themes to choose from, each workshop will include exploring selected collection items, fabulous stories and a fun craft to take home. Designed for 3 to 5 year olds, this is the perfect excursion for early learning centres or groups of 10 to 20 children accompanied by their carers.
Choose between four themes:
In the night
Pick up a torch and explore the Amaze Gallery. Join us to share stories about night time and create a glow-in-the-dark craft.
Pretty patterns
Spots and dots, shapes and stripes! Search for patterns in the Library and make some of your own with interesting materials.
A day on the water
Visit the Paintings from the Collection exhibition and search for boats in the paintings. Stay a while to share some fishy stories and craft.
Cat capers
There's a cheeky cat hiding in the Library - can you help us find him?
