In addition to the stellar concert line up on Saturday 23rd March at Meet the Makers Picnic, we've programmed FREE family friendly experiences and creative activities for children.
Victoria University early childhood pre-service teacher's free pop-up play spaces are part of an innovative placement program. Victoria University are providing an all-day loose part play session - an interactive experience where children have the freedom to use their imaginations and be creative with a range of materials. The pieces can be moved, manipulated, and connected to form endless possibilities.
The free play spaces are based on the practice of Playwork in which children are empowered to engage, create, imagine, and explore by moving a variety of ‘loose parts’, such as recycled cardboard and fabrics, for their own reasons and in their own time.
