What's on at Kids Collective - Roma Street Parkland
Finding things to do during the school holidays doesn’t have to be a challenge, Kids Collective at Roma Street Parkland have done all of the hard work for you!
During school holidays, the parkland is buzzing with free activities for kids aged 5-12 years old.
Activities are held from 9am-1pm, Thursday to Saturday, during school holidays. There are two classes to choose from on any given day, booking is not required as classes are re-set at regular intervals, so you can come and go as you please. If you would like to grab a bite to eat during your visit, head to the Garden Room cafe for school holiday specials.
Activities change every holidays, so there’s always something new to try. And don’t forget – if you have young kids to entertain, Kids Collective at South Bank Parklands (designed for kids aged 0-5) is on Thursdays from 9am-1pm. Please note that due to seasonal events, Kids Collective is not on at Roma Street Parkland or South Bank during December and January.
Upcoming activities:
Thursday 26 September
Interactive art: Spring Sun Catcher at Children’s Garden Lawn
In this instalment of Kids Collective children will have the opportunity to get creative, constructing a sun catcher using an array of colourful floral petals and leaves. At home the sun catcher can be strung together for a mobile effect or placed against a window pane so light cascades through. Engaging and interactive crafts are proven to assist in children’s development and learning as well as their gross and fine motor skills, co-ordination, concentration and creative thinking.
Soccer Play at Celebration Lawn
During this active set of games, kids are shown the basics of soccer in a fun and friendly setting. Attendees will learn kicking, catching, running techniques, as well as coordination skills, and the importance of teamwork.
Friday 27 September
