About this Event
NGV Kids on Tour is back at Pakenham for 2026! We are so excited to again be a host venue for this wonderful program.
Session 1 is a Nature & Us Storytime inspired by artist Olaf Breuning and his book My Nature Book
ACTIVITY TITLE: My Nature Book
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
My Nature book with Olaf Breuning
Take a walk through the forest with artist Olaf Breuning in My Nature Book, a charming story that brings nature to life. Join a story time session where young children can participate by acting out new words on each page. Before long, everyone will be singing like birds, crawling like bugs and buzzing like bees.
ACTIVITY TITLE: Nature & Us with Olaf Breuning
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: In these creative drawing activities inspired by nature, children can find out what makes a forest the perfect home for birds, insects and bugs, as well as woodland animals.
These activities are inspired by Olaf Breuning, a contemporary artist known for his playful and imaginative work, including his recent children’s exhibition Plans for the Planet: Olaf Breuning for Kids at the NGV.
Through these activities children develop observation and drawing skills, while gaining a deeper understanding of ecology and biodiversity.
