Children of all ages are invited to celebrate National Children’s Week at two free events in Melton that are jampacked with fun and will entertain the whole family.

From 10.30am to 12.30pm on October 24 at the Melton Community families with children aged 0-5 years can join in arts and crafts, sports, sensory play, visit the animal farm, enjoy a story time and a musical performance by Paul Jamieson the Music Man. Families can also meet local service providers and early childhood professionals and learn about the programs and services available to your family.

On October 26 Caroline Springs Library is hosting an aftenoon fun session from 3.30pm to 5.30pm.

Attendees can join in an African drumming workshop, create a Kokedama with artist Emma Grace, play with OSMO and much more.

No bookings are required for the events and all activities are free. Children will need to attend with a responsible adult.

Melton Mayor Lara Carli said it’s great to see kids playing and enjoying themselves and these events will give them the chance to have fun with their family and make new friends.
