Creative Ways To Entertain Kids These Holidays

5 July, 2023 By Canowindra Phoenix Editor

Painting fun for everyone. The Little Art Company in Canowindra offers classes for all ages, with Winter School Holiday classes being added soon.

Central West kids are spoilt for choice when it comes to creative ideas to entertain them these winter school holidays. 

Canowindra is fortunate to have several creative providers such as Alikinetic Dance, The Little Art Company, The Age of Fishes Museum, art galleries and libraries. 

Alikinetic Dance has a whole host of school holiday classes, camps and activities on offer. All programs include hot lunches, healthy snacks and plenty of fun! Open to children from preschool to high school ages. With themes such as under the sea, pyjama day, acro-gymnastics and Disney, there will be something for everyone. Message Ali at Alikinetic Dance via her social pages for more information. 

Arts OutWest, has developed a concise list of events, workshops, shows, exhibitions, tours and other activities for kids and families right across Central West NSW. Access the list at https://artsoutwest.org. au/whats-on/list/ 

Community groups and organisations are also encouraged to contact Arts OutWest to have their events added to the list if they aren’t mentioned. 

Looking for a Central West Road trip? Or a map to find museums and galleries? Eugowra, Cowra, Manildra, and Molong all have beautiful murals to look at. Another fun day trip is the Animals on Bikes from Molong to Dubbo, spotting the fun mailboxes and sculptures along the way. To download the culture maps for Central NSW go to: www.centralnsw.com/ 

There are also plenty of free, or cheap creative ideas to keep the kids entertained these holidays including scavenger hunts to create artworks, painting and hiding rocks for others to find, sensory filled bush walks, online music and art tutorials or baking and decorating cakes and biscuits. Creative fun can be found all around us.
