School holiday fun

Hepburn Shire Council is hosting free school holiday activities that are creative, hands-on and packed with fun. Sign your child up to a free session to discover the magic of animation and model-making at Hepburn Libraries these school holidays.

Two exciting workshops held at Daylesford and Creswick are designed to spark imagination and creativity in June, with the chance for children aged between five and 12 years to step behind the camera and into the world of movie-making.

Toonworld is an engaging stop motion animation workshop, and participants will discover how animated films are created, learn the basics of stop motion techniques, and bring their own stories to life frame-by-frame. It’s a unique chance for young creators to explore technology, storytelling and filmmaking in a fun and supportive environment.

For children who love building and creating, Creaturetoons offers a fun hands-on experience. In this exciting model-making workshop, participants can design and create their very own dinosaur or mythical creature. From fierce dragons to friendly dinosaurs and everything in between, children are encouraged to let their creativity run wild as they build and personalise their creations.

Hepburn Shire Council’s school holidays program also extends to other hands-on activities in its four libraries, with wind-up toys and terracotta pot decoration sessions on offer for school aged children. 

All workshops are free and are a fantastic opportunity for children to learn new skills, meet new friends and enjoy a creative school holiday experience away from screens. 

Please book early to avoid missing out. Email library@hepburn.vic.gov.au or phone your closest library – Clunes (5345 3359), Creswick (5345 2145), Daylesford (5348 2800) or Trentham (5424 1326).
