Christmas Kids Craft at Newstead House

Newstead House

Calling all little elves! On Monday 14 December and Tuesday 15 December, jingle your way to Newstead House for a school holiday activity packed with crafty Christmas fun, stories from the past and a sprinkle of festive magic. Start your session on the grand verandah, where little imaginations can run wild turning natural Crow's Ash seed pods into one-of-a-kind Christmas ornaments, decorated with coloured paint, sparkly sequins and playful pipe cleaners. While their creations dry, set off on an express, kid-friendly tour of Brisbane's oldest surviving residence led by a volunteer and discover the stories behind the House. Then finish up by assembling their dried creations, ready to take home and pop on the Christmas tree. With their very own handmade decoration to take home, it's a lovely way to make Christmas memories together. Make a morning of it with coffee from Group Set Coffee and toasties from M Pressed available on site — a little treat to round out your family outing. The Newstead House Gift Shop will also be stocked with ice-cream and light snacks. Please note no food or drink can be consumed inside the House. Tickets are $15 per child. Gather your little elves and join us for some Christmas magic at Newstead House!
