Magic tricks, wands, magic science experiments, what fun! Come explore stories, songs and activities on the theme, in a relaxed environment. Children and their families have the opportunity to engage with a variety of activities at their own pace.

Pirrku Explorers is a social session with a range of educational activities suitable for children approximately 2 - 7 years and their carers. Each month we explore a new theme, discover something new and make friends playing along the way. Pirrku Explorers takes place on the first Friday of each month.

The Kaurna word for story is pirrku and Pirrku Garden is the name of the garden area we are establishing at the rear of the Evanston Gardens Library. This program takes place (weather depending) outside in the Pirrku Garden. The area has dappled shade so we recommend hats and sunscreen. If the weather is not suitable we will relocate inside the library.

Upcoming programs:

September -Trains

Clickety Clack, clickety clack, here come the trains on the track. Join us for train stories and songs before we paint carriages to take home.

October - Echidnas and Ants

Pretend you are an echidna searching for ants, learn echidna songs, and craft one to take home.
