Hop into Easter with some “egg-celent” activities

A puppet workshop, string art, cooking for kids and more – there’s something for everyone these school holidays.

We have put together an “egg-cellent” array of activities to keep you and your family entertained across the Easter break.

Spring into fun these school holidays with our Trinket Jar sessions on April 12 at Felltimber Community Centre where children can learn the art of using air dry clay to create a jar to fill with treats or special bits and bobs.

Kylie from Art Starts Here will teach the young artists how to sculpt their own beautiful keepsakes.
At Hyphen – Wodonga Library Gallery, those aged between 10 and 14 can learn to create moveable puppets of endangered animals during the Holidays @ Hyphen – Puppet Workshop with Abi Thompson.
Participants will learn drawing and art techniques before filming their own puppet show against a projected backdrop featuring Abi’s work.
Bookings are required for the April 12 workshop.
The fun continues at Baranduda Community Centre with a String Art workshop on April 22.
Kylie from Art Starts Here will have participants constructing and weaving an amazing animal creation.
Both of our community centres will let the kids get creative in the kitchen with our Kids Cooking Club program on April 13 and April 20.
The sessions will be delivered by our facilitator, Mary, who has many years’ experience as a home economics teacher.
We have an event that’s designed for the whole family. Organise your family and come and enjoy Sunday Brunch at Felltimber Community Centre on April 24.
Meet new people, enjoy your meal, and soak up the beautiful surroundings while we provide activities to keep the kids entertained.
It’s art meets technology with the Holidays @ Hyphen – Scribble Bot Workshop on April 20.
The hands-on workshop involves building and decorating your own “scribble bot”.
Use the scribble bot to create unpredictable and unique works of art, and take part in scribble bot races.
Children will learn basic circuitry and explore different art-making tools in this interactive session.
Suitable for ages 7 to 12 years. Bookings required.
Another one for the older kids, 10 to 14 years old, involves learning about designing for 3D printers.
Holidays @ Hyphen – Create A Bag Tag on April 22 will have children exploring the possibilities in Hyphen’s Tech Studio as they create a custom bag tag.
The bag tags will be 3D-printed in the Hyphen Tech Studio and participants will be notified when they are available for collection. Bookings required.
While at Hyphen, make sure you take the time to check out The Art Factory – the latest art exhibition in the Playspace Gallery.
Ride a pedal-powered drawing machine, experiment with sound and witness the fascinating workings of a 3D printer.
The exhibition explores the process of making art with machines.

Those looking for a culturally-rich experience for their children can visit Bonegilla Migrant Experience, where the national heritage site is hosting a pop-up exhibition.
