Create a Kite Craft Activity

  • Free
  • Family and kids

What is something that makes your heart soar and your kite fly?

Inspired by best-selling children’s picture book Under the Love Umbrella, written by Davina Bell and illustrated by Allison Colpoys, celebrate the wondrous ways love is shared with your family and friends. In a craft activity designed by Allison, use colour and collage to decorate your own kite and add it to the Library’s mural wall for all to see, as it soars high in a sky full of love.

Perfect for children aged 5-12 years, and their families.

No bookings are required.
