The Western Australian Museum – Kalgoorlie-Boulder will be full of fun activities these school holidays as it uncovers what life would be like living in the early 1900s, sets a puzzle trail to discover and teaches kids how to draw cartoons.
Fun in the Parlour
Children will be able to see what it would be like to have Fun in the Parlour whilst living in a fancy house around 1900. The parlour was the best room in the house and you would have to be on your very best behaviour. We will start off with a very proper morning tea then you might like to start to sew your very own book mark. You might also like to dress up and we will have “pinnies” for you to borrow to help you feel the part.
AGES: 6 – 12 years
COST: $10 per activity (includes morning tea and sewing materials)
WHEN: Activities between 10.30am and 12.00noon (week days only), 11 – 22 July 2011
