The Cowra Library has put together an exciting program of activities for children and families during the October school holidays, promising plenty of colour, creativity and fun.
Things will kick off on Wednesday, 1 October, with a retro throwback to the 1980s, Shrinky Dinks.
Children aged eight and over will be able to design their own creations, watch them shrink in the oven and turn them into unique key rings or bag tags.
From jungle animals to robots, the possibilities are endless and the finished pieces can be proudly worn or shared with friends.
On Friday, 3 October, imagination will run wild with a fantasy messy and sensory play session.
