BotaniKids: Scarecrow Making, ClayPlay and Nature Carpet Activities

Calling all kids!

Come along to the Lake Wendouree foreshore for your chance to make your very own scarecrow.

Children are also invited to stay and play with at the ClayPlay and Nature Carpet activities. Make a mud pie creation or design a floral carpet using items found in the backyard.

Woodworking Shed

Children can visit the Woodworking Shed to create a woodworking master piece to take home and admire. Choose from a selection of designs (toolbox, pencil case, cradle, and bird feeder) to produce your own work of art and then start hammering away. Options to paint your woodworking creation are available at the Plaster Funhouse tent.

Petting Farm

Farmer Darryl together with his farm animals will be visiting this year's Begonia Festival. Visit Farmer Darryl's working farm and learn about animals through a 'touch and feel' experience with hand-raised farm animals in a real farm setting.

Children will enjoy getting in amongst the pens and hay bales to see calves, sheep and lambs, goats, chickens, ducks, guinea pigs, rabbits and friendly miniature pigs.
