The Midland Library hosted an interactive and exciting learning environment for children on Tuesday with developing minds able to learn through play.

The early childhood workshop with Scitech encouraged participants to play, explore and discover.

It fostered their natural curiosity and encouraged them to ask why, how and what if?

Children at the Kalamunda Historic Village were able to have fun the old-fashioned way as part of its school holiday program.

Activities included making a gumnut family chain, an apple slinky and faces, pin wheels and sundials while learning fun dance steps and games.
