Fall headfirst down the rabbit hole these school holidays as City of Moreton Bay libraries unlock a magical Wonderland-themed program filled with creativity and fun.
To celebrate the 160th anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s classic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Redcliffe Library and other Council libraries will host a series of activities aimed at curious and curiouser young minds.
Mayor Peter Flannery said he was enthusiastic about the events and opportunities taking place at City of Moreton Bay libraries, particularly during the school holidays.
“Alice in Wonderland is a childhood classic many people grew up reading and loving,” he said. “We’re excited to draw on the imagination and creativity of Lewis Carroll’s iconic novel to inspire young minds to learn and immerse themselves in the library.
“The themed events celebrating 160 years of Alice in Wonderland range from painting your own cupcake plate fit for a Mad Hatter tea party…and taking part in an Alice in Wonderland themed Lego adventure.”
Wonderland Workshops, Lego Challenges & Bunny Cuddles
At Redcliffe Library, the program is packed with activities fit for Wonderland royalty. Budding artists aged five to 11 can unleash their inner Mad Hatter at a pottery painting workshop on Friday, 4 July (11am-12pm), decorating their own cupcake plate to take home.
For those who love crafting scenes and stories, a Wonderland-themed diorama workshop will be held on Friday, 11 July (11.30am-12.30pm) – perfect for kids aged eight to 11 looking to capture the magic in miniature.
Young engineers can test their skills with a Lego pulley challenge on Tuesday, 1 and 8 July (3.30pm-4.30pm), building a contraption to help Alice escape the rabbit hole.
Of course, no Wonderland tale is complete without a rabbit – so hop into Redcliffe Library on Sunday, 6 July (11am-1pm) for a cuddle and a photo with a real fluffy friend!
These enchanting events are part of a wider school holiday program taking place across the entire City of Moreton Bay. All events are free, but bookings are essential – and just like a disappearing Cheshire Cat, places fill fast.
