School Holiday Activities At Whanganui Regional Museum

The Whanganui Regional Museum is offering a range of craft and storytelling activities for children during the school holidays.

The Winter school holiday programme focuses on Matariki celebrations with fun STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) activities to suit a variety of ages and ability levels.

The first session on Tuesday 9th July involves using polymer clay to make a hei tiki that can be worn. This activity is ideal for children aged over seven years, but Playdough will be available for younger participants. Four other craft activities across the two weeks of holidays include embroidery, making lanterns, and constructing a basic circuit to make a star projector.

On the evening of Friday 12th July, Kaihāpai Kaupapa/Public Programmes Presenter, Lisa Reweti will host a special ‘Night at the Museum’ event to share stories about Matariki.

Bookings are essential for all sessions.
