The sun has come out just in time for the spring school holidays, and Melton and Moorabool councils have a range of activities on offer to get kids out and about.

Melton mayor Lara Carli said the school holidays are the perfect time for kids to get out and have fun with their mates at their action-packed holiday program.

“We have a range of activities where kids can learn new skills and let their imagination run free while keeping active and healthy,” she said.

“With art workshops, cooking classes, craft shows, magic shows, and the chance to play a variety of sports and more, there is something to keep kids of all ages entertained these holidays.

“Don’t forget your local library either, where there will be Storytime and visits from the Western

BACE STEM squad that will entertain and expand your tech skills.”

Moorabool chief executive Derek Madden said their school holiday program also has something for everyone.

“…From a silent disco to a movie night in Ballan, Lego Masters challenges and a bushwalking and barbecue event at Mackenzies Flat Picnic Area,” he said.

“The libraries in Ballan and Bacchus Marsh also have a range of spring-themed events on offer, including creating your own bird feeders to attract and nourish local wildlife and how to build a bug hotel to provide shelter and habitat for beneficial insects.”

Most activities are free but many require bookings. Full programs can be found online.
