The Woodend Neighbourhood House will be offering a series of festive and creative Christmas workshops designed especially for school-aged children from prep to grade six.
Held throughout December, the workshops will give children the chance to enjoy hands-on making, baking, creating and yoga as the year draws to a close.
Woodend Neighbourhood House manager Melissa Baker said it was wonderful to bring these activities to local families in the lead-up to Christmas.
“We’re so excited to be able to offer these workshops this year. They’re a fantastic way for children to explore their creativity, learn new skills and celebrate the festive season in a fun, supportive environment,” she said.
Children can design and decorate their own personalised tabletop Christmas tree in the first of three sessions.
With the support of volunteers, the workshop encourages creativity and self-expression, and each child will take home their beautifully crafted tree.
This session will run from 4pm to 5.30pm on Monday 1 December, with a cost of $10 per participant.
Young cooks can join the kids Christmas treats workshop, where they will mix, bake and decorate delicious festive goodies under the guidance of volunteers.
Children will learn simple kitchen skills in a friendly and relaxed environment and will take home their tasty creations to share.
This workshop will be held from 4pm to 5.30pm on Thursday 11 December at a cost of $15 per participant.
Rounding out the program is the gift of creating with yoga, presented by Sarah from Shanti Studio.
Children will enjoy two hours of movement, creativity and calm as they celebrate the end of school, unwind before Christmas and take part in a blend of yoga and hands-on craft.
Two sessions are on offer on Monday 22 December, running from 10am to noon and 2pm to 4pm, with each session costing $30 per participant.
