Join Nearer to Nature as we hop into these school holidays with our fun froggy program at the City of Melville Eco Hub. Little explorers will discover fascinating features of frogs, learn about their life cycle, and understand why frogs are important. They’ll listen to local frog calls, embark on a mini exploration, and create a froggy craft to take home.
Please note that this event is suitable for families with kids aged 4 to 7.
This is not a 'drop and leave' event. All people under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a responsible parent/carer. Parents/carers are responsible for the safety and well-being of children at all times.
