Little Builders | The Little Builders Program with Little Green Thumbs is a hands on program developed for children with the aim to introduce simple woodworking skills as well as focusing on tool safety. At the end of the workshop, each child will take home their very own creation – either a Toolbox or a Marble Maze!

Nature Craft – Mini Beasts | Loose Parts Play Experience: Join Bazil Grumble and create your own mini beasts with this loose parts play experience! Explore the tiny world that goes unnoticed in the parklands and create artistic interpretations of the little creatures who live there. Start by selecting natural materials then assemble your own mini beast creation. By taking a photograph of the artworks before they are disassembled, children will have a permanent reminder of their nature play experience at Roma Street Parkland.

Circus Fun | Run away and join the circus with Physi Kids! The team will have a variety of fun games as well as circus based equipment to ease you into circus life. There’ll be hula hooping, spinning plates, axe throwing (nothing sharp of course!), skipping ropes and heaps more.
