20-22 December at Ponsonby Community Centre and Freemans Bay Hall.
We have some fantastic free kids' workshops coming up at the end of December.
A little helper for our parents who still have to be at work up until the very last minute, these classes are on Wednesday 20, Thursday 21 and Friday 22 December and being held in two locations as below.
At Freemans Bay Hall:
Wednesday 20 December 11am – 3pm: Wooden Christmas Trees – Decorate your home with a Wooden Christmas Tree, made from reclaimed offcuts and stained for a rustic finish. Easy and ethical. Ages 7-12 years.
Thursday 21 December 11am – 3pm: 3D Native Birds – In this workshop, kids will make 3D art. They will create native bird cutouts and then attach them to small branches against a beautiful painted backdrop and learn about native birds at the same time. Ages 5- 12 years.
Friday 22 December 11am – 3pm: Christmas Cards and Decorations – Fun opportunity to make up-cycled decorations and cards, from pop up cards to collage, print making and paper craft. Ages 5-12 years.
At Ponsonby Community Centre:
Wednesday 20 December 11am – 3pm: Kite making – Make a uniquely designed kite using recycled materials. Kites are great to learn about physics and what it takes to get a kite in the air and keep it flying. Ages 7-12 years.
Thursday 21 December 11am – 3pm: Creative Woodwork – In this workshop, kids will learn to use a drill in detail and then design and assemble their own wooden masterpiece. This is a great opportunity for kids to experiment and think outside the box as they work with the different shapes and sizes of wood provided. Ages 7-12 years.
Friday 22 December 11am – 3pm:
Make a lovely hand-painted wind chime created out of waste cardboard and secondhand yarn. Hand paint with bright and beautiful upcycled paint and then hang it where the breeze will catch it. Ages 5-12 years.
Places are limited and some classes have age limits of 7-12 years. To enrol your child, please email Ponsonby Community Centre on info@ponsonbycommunity.org.nz
