Wyndham’s libraries are going prehistoric with a dinosaur themed school holiday program.
The program features loads activities including movies, drawing and games. The activities, which are mostly free, are designed for primary school children of all ages and bookings are essential for some of the events.
Wyndham Mayor Cr Kim McAliney said the program would stop children from getting bored over the school holiday break.
“While the dinosaur themes school holiday activities are for primary school children, the library service offers a range of activities including rhyme time and services including talking books available on iPods,” Cr McAliney said.
“From dressing up in dinosaur costumes to drawing your own dinosaur, the Wyndham library school holiday program is a fun and cheap way to keep children entertained during the September break. It also means that children are learning about dinosaurs and interacting with others, while having a good time.”
