Unleashing creativity Holiday activities are inspiring young minds to think differently melissah comber

dventurous astronauts, silly scientists and wily wild things are taking over the children of Maitland, as they throw themselves head first into Maitland libraries’ school holiday activities. Maitland, East Maitland, Rutherford and Thornton libraries are all participating in the program, where little ones have so far been able to write stories, conduct small scale science experiments and create their own ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ based character in a workshop run by Newcastle’s Tantrum Theatre. Maitland City Librarian Keryl Collard said that the activities encourage the kids to think creatively. “Whether it’s stories, drama, science, art or space, there is something for children of all ages,” Ms Collard explained. Isla and Linsey Anderson and Kathleen Doherty made ‘Wizard of Oz’ themed craft at Thornton Library last Thursday, cutting, gluing and glittering themselves some sleepy time poppies, emerald glasses and winged monkeys. Isla Anderson said that she likes doing craft, and making the monkeys was her favourite.“But it’s all really fun!” she added. There will be an Art Attack party at Maitland Library from 11am on Wednesday, July 10 and Super Blast Off space activities at Rutherford Library at 2pm on Thursday, July 11. Both activities are free.
