This interactive school holiday program in Banyo, Brisbane, combines art and nature to spark your child's creativity and imagination. **What to Bring** - A hat and sunscreen for outdoor exploration - A water bottle to stay hydrated - An apron or old clothes for messy art fun - A sense of adventure and creativity! **Best Age Range** Ages 6 to 12 **Good to Know** The workshop is held at a local community hall, with a short nature walk to collect materials. The program runs for 3 hours, including a short break for snacks. All art materials are provided, and each child will take home their unique creation. **Nearby** - Banyo Adventure Park: A great spot for a post-workshop play, with plenty of open space and playground equipment. - Fitzgibbon Chase: A beautiful bushland reserve perfect for a family nature walk or picnic. - Banyo Library: A cozy place to relax and enjoy some quiet time with a good book. **Tips From Other Parents** "Pack a small backpack for your child to carry their treasures and artwork home – they'll collect so much inspiration on their nature walk!" - Sarah, Banyo "Wear closed-toe shoes for the nature walk, as there can be some uneven terrain and hidden 'treasures' to discover." - David, Taigum
