FROM robot building to recycled art, glass gardens to games of fortune telling, kids across the Redlands will be spoiled for entertainment these school holidays.
Mayor Karen Williams said libraries and the Redland Art Gallery had a fantastic line-up of free activities on offer, with events for aspiring artists, programmers and more.
“In addition to the great range of craft activities at the libraries, kids can test their tech skills by building and programming Lego mindstorms and spheros plus tinker with light-up bookmarks and a whole array of other technology,” she said.
“At Redland Art Gallery kids and teens can try their hand at the latest trend in indoor gardening and create their very own sustainable and decorative terrarium to take home.
“There’s also macrame and basket weaving as well as some recycled art activities where kids can make handbags and toolboxes from recycled materials.”
