Story Kōrero: Make Your Own Book in the Park
Creative Nature Workshop
In partnership with Auckland Parks.

Walk. Wonder. Write. Draw.

Join us for a playful and reflective workshop where you’ll create your handmade book, inspired by a journey through the park. Guided by creative prompts, we’ll walk, observe, and gather stories—both from the land and from what you bring.

You’ll learn how to fold and bind a book to fill with the day’s reflections, then take it home. We’ll finish with some shared fun and kai.

All welcome!
Perfect for whānau with children of any age who are curious about nature and creativity.

If your whānau have any specific needs, let us know—we’ll do our best to support everyone to participate, access, and enjoy the time together.

All materials provided.
Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Come create your story with us!
