Long before toys came from shops, we turned whatever we could find into toys and games. Scraps of fabric, bits of string, bottle caps, sticks and shells became materials for creative play and making.
Collect materials to mix and twist creating your own creature. Will it have twirly ears, a googly-eyed grin, or a tail that twists and turns?
This workshop takes place at the Petone Settlers Museum
