Santa's Workshop - Callan Park - Summer 2025

Jingle Bells, jingle bells … you're not likely to see a sleigh in Callan Park – but did you know that Santa has set up a workshop here?

Join our Education Rangers for a full day in Santa's Workshop, using seeds, flowers, leaves, and blossoms to create beautiful pieces of nature art to put under (or on!) the Christmas tree.

And of course, there will be time for stories and outdoor games!

Children will be introduced to a range of art mediums and natural materials – gifts parents and grandparents will love. 

Please note: This is a child-led creative experience inspired by nature and the moment. Each session unfolds differently depending on the children and their surroundings, so activities may vary from those described. What’s always included is imagination, collaboration, and connection with the natural environment.

This program is suitable for children aged 5 – 12 years.
