Get crafty and prepare for the Season of Wonder! We're getting into the Christmas spirit with a couple of hours of festive card-making fun at Mary MacKillop Place.

Designed especially for young crafters aged 5-10, but all Christmas card-making enthusiasts are welcome. Parents and guardians are required to stay and supervise their little crafters throughout the session, there's plenty of materials for grown-ups to craft too!

Come along to the Schoolhouse and make as many Christmas cards as you like during the two-hour session and why not swap a card with someone else while you're there?

Date: Sunday 6 December 2026
Time: 11am–1pm
Stay a short time or the whole time, it is completely up to you!
