About this Event
Bring the kids along to Leongatha Library these school holidays for a fun afternoon of creating. Make your own bogong moth papercraft puppet and wooden insect fridge magnets.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
Dr Deanne Gilson is a proud Wadawurrung woman living on her ancestral Country of Ballarat. Her art is about her culture and looking after the environment. One of the stories she draws and paints is about the bogong moth.
In this activity children receive a paper template of the Australian bogong moth to make their own paper moth. While drawing eyes and patterns, discover the interesting facts about this special Australian insect, how it avoids predators, and its important place in our incredible natural environment.
At Leongatha Library we are extending this beautiful papercraft by adding strings to construct a paper puppet and decorating wooden insect cut-outs which we will turn into fun fridge magnets!
