April 5
Learn about how the Victorians used to dye their Easter eggs using ingredients from their kitchens. In this activity you will get a history lesson all about dying Easter eggs, get to visit the kitchen in the historic house, and get to dye your very own Easter egg to take home.
May 3
In May, we will learn about floriography, the language of flowers, by decoding bouquets placed throughout the historic house, and then we will make our own flowers out of recycled materials.
June 7
In June, you will get to go on a bug hunt in the gardens at Dalnavert. After a refreshing glass of lemonade, we will move into the Visitors' Centre and make a craft inspired by the insect displays of the Victorian era. (Please note that this craft will not include the use of real bugs!!)
