BURDEKIN LIBRARIES SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN

The Burdekin libraries in both Ayr and Home Hill, are running tremendous school holiday programs throughout January. Designed to keep the kids entertained, out of the heat, and give parents much needed respite, the program is sure to capture little imaginations and get the creative juices flowing.

Information on the School Holiday Program for January 2025:
 
• Walk in Make It Sessions: are open craft sessions where craft materials are provided to explore imaginations. A theme is given for inspiration. These are unstructured and not supervised by Library staff.

• Tealight Owls: is a painting session of ceramic owls using acrylic paints followed by Modge Podge to seal.

• Rangoli Sand Art: sheets are patterned adhesive sprinkled with coloured sand.

• Our Code Club: gives children the opportunity to learn the basics of coding using guided tutorials.

• Mario Cart Gaming: is a fun session to compete for the Mario Cart Cup on the Nintendo Switch.

• Butterfly Creations: is a structured, step by step craft session.

• Aus Art: consists of timber mainland Australia pieces which can be painted with acrylic paint or decorated using the craft materials.

Some activities require bookings as space is limited, while others are walk-ins. However, to ensure you don’t miss out, give the Burdekin Library a call and speak with the friendly Carli Kovacich, the children’s librarian who can give you more information. Dates and session times are listed in the images.
