Meri Kirihimete, Merry Christmas and season’s greetings to you all!
This Christmas, Te Papa Discovery Centres are getting crafty. From party hats to pretty pōhutukawa brooches, there’s something for everyone to make.
Yesterday we turned PlaNet Pasifika from a sunny Samoan home to a winter wonderland by making our festive headbands. With glue, glitter and cotton wool at the ready, our visitors crafted up a storm and soon we were surrounded by snowmen and wintry forests.
Check out the Kids’ Calendar for details of craft activities coming up over the summer holidays. We’ll provide the glitter; all you need to bring is a creative spark. See you there!
