School Holiday Activities at Tondoon Botanic Gardens

In 2021, Creative Recycling Centre facilitated creative activities for children at Tondoon Botanic Gardens as part of Gladstone Regional Council's school holiday programs.  

Nature Weaving - September School Holidays 2021

To celebrate Biodiversity Month (September), CRC will facilitate a weaving activity using natural and recycled materials.  A large  recycled net will be strung between trees for a collaborative weaving piece that will grow during the holidays.  Children will also be able to make their own mini looms to weave.

Yarn Bombing Tondoon - June/July School Holidays 2021

Recycled yarn and textiles were used to wrap, weave and decorate the trunks of trees in a designated area within Tondoon Botanic Gardens.  Children also made their own yarn sticks to take home.  
 
Yarn Bombing is a form of street art where objects and structures are covered with knitted or crocheted material as a form of public art. It is often used to make a statement, by changing the way we look at things.  
 
This yarn bombing activity at Tondoon celebrates our trees and all the wonderful gifts they give.  The children did an amazing job creating some unique tree decorations. The yarn bombing will be in place for the remainder of the school holidays and for the Luminous festival. 

Recycled Bird Feeders - Easter School Holidays 2021

The Recycled Birdfeeder workshops were held on Wednesday 7th and Friday 16th April.  The bird feeders were made from recycled tennis ball containers. Children decorated the birdfeeders with paint pens, and threaded recycled beads on the hanging wire.  

Each session included tips for best placement of the bird feeder, information about sustainable bird feeding and what other elements can be included in backyards to attract native birds.  We also played played a series of common bird songs to see who could guess which bird made the sounds!
