NGV Kids on Tour: Furry Friend Headband – Cats & Dogs

Each summer the National Gallery of Victoria [NGV] works with regional galleries to offer FREE art activities to children and their families. Kids can explore the works of NGV artists then create their own art. To find out more, visit NGV.Melbourne/Kids.

Dalmatians, tabby cats and labradoodles! Cats and dogs come in many different colours, patterns, shapes and sizes. Celebrating the NGV exhibition Cats & Dogs, children can draw fur and other details inspired by their favourite pets on a set of cat or dog ears and wear them for the day – or even to bed! Creating these furry headbands will stimulate young minds, encouraging play, imagination and creativity. Benalla Art Gallery staff will provide additional range of activities inspired by the theme of cats and dogs.

Ages: 3+

Children under the age of 9 must have a carer present to assist.

Cost: FREE
