Wacky Wire Critterbug Workshop for Kids (10 to 16 years)
Event description
"Wacky Wire Critterbug” workshops are a fun day where participants design and make their very own “Critterbug” using colourful wire, beads, aluminium shim, jewels, and small found objects to enhance their creation; the wackier, the better!
The “Critterbug” will have flapping wings that move by a simple interactive mechanism and will be mounted on its own base, ready to be taken home and proudly displayed.
Materials included.
