Make some moving memories with us! Dancing With Memories author Sally Yule will join us for a special reading of her book. She will waltz us with her words, and then we’ll warm down with a stretch of our imaginations by getting crafty and creative.
This program is for children and their families and especially celebrates grandparents and our exceptional elders!
We also warmly welcome D/deaf and hard of hearing community members, with Auslan interpretation and open captioning.
Some materials you will need to get crafty with us:
- One large piece of paper
- A2 is a good size, and you can make this by joining 4 x A4 sheets, or even using the blank side of some thick wrapping paper.
- Some long strips of paper
- A2 length is recommended, or join together the short ends of some A4 sheets, or use the blank side of some thick wrapping paper.
- Something to draw with, like markers, pencils or crayons
- Scissors (remember to ask for help with these if you need it!)
- Sticky tape
