Bring your child’s creativity to life at Build a Bug, a fun drop-in make-and-take workshop where children can design and decorate their own colourful insect-inspired stick puppet. Using a variety of shapes, patterns and craft materials, kids will build their bug’s body, wings, eyes and legs before creating a unique creepy-crawly friend to take home.
Facilitated by the Helensvale Library Resident Artist, Sarah Gee, this hands-on activity encourages imagination, creativity and playful learning while introducing children to the beauty of native and endangered insect species through art. Participants will also receive a First 5 Forever Library tote bag to carry their bug creation home in.
Sarah Gee is a local early career artist whose vibrant illustrations, paintings and textile sculptures are inspired by nature and designed to spark curiosity, joy and care for the environment.
