Families across Redcliffe will have no shortage of options during the winter school holidays, with Moreton Bay offering dozens of free activities designed to keep children entertained, active and learning throughout the break.
From improv comedy workshops and beginner 3D printing sessions to visits from alpacas and babydoll lambs, this year’s holiday program includes a mix of creative, educational and recreational experiences across the region.
The activities are aimed at helping children explore new interests while giving families affordable ways to stay engaged during the school holidays.
Creative workshops encourage children to step outside their comfort zone
Children interested in performance, creativity and imagination will be able to take part in a variety of library-based activities during the winter break.
Among the offerings is Improv Jam, where participants can learn techniques used to create spontaneous games, stories and scenes. The sessions encourage confidence, communication and creative thinking while providing plenty of opportunities for laughter and teamwork.
Other library activities include beginner 3D printing workshops, magic shows and circus-themed experiences, giving children a chance to develop new skills and discover interests they may not have explored before.
Alpacas and lambs bring farming lessons to local libraries
Animal-themed learning will also feature as part of the Winter Woollies program. Selected City of Moreton Bay libraries will welcome alpacas and babydoll lambs, giving children an opportunity to learn more about wool production and natural fibres.
Families attending the sessions will be able to watch demonstrations showing how raw fleece is prepared through carding before being spun into yarn. The program combines education with hands-on learning and aims to help children better understand how natural materials are transformed into everyday products.
Active holidays program offers sport and adventure
For children who prefer physical activity, the Active Holidays program includes a broad range of sporting and recreational experiences. Activities include target archery, tennis, hip hop dance, junior boxing, multicultural games and survival skills programs.
The sessions are designed to encourage participation, confidence and healthy lifestyles while introducing children to activities they may wish to continue beyond the school holidays.
Mayor Peter Flannery said the holiday program aimed to provide opportunities for young people to stay active, spend time with friends and family and create positive memories during the winter break.
Museums add hands-on family experiences
The holiday schedule also extends to City of Moreton Bay’s museums and galleries.
Families can take part in creative workshops and visit events such as the Farmyard Family Fun Day at Pine Rivers Heritage Museum. Children can also create illuminated LED story lanterns and participate in activities that combine learning, creativity and local culture.
The experiences are designed to encourage exploration while introducing young people to some of the region’s cultural attractions.
