Find a Story - two sessions: 10am and 11am
Find a story. Join the adventure exploring one of Maui’s tales that lives and is held within the children’s garden of the Botanic Gardens. This 45-minute session is a playful space for kōrero, imagining, and creating—where tamariki can follow the trail of a living story and find one of their own to take home in a book to draw, write, and fill with wonder.
Two FREE sessions are available and booking is essential as spaces are limited. Please register your place via https://events.humanitix.com/find-a-story-creative-playshops-at-the-botanic-gardens-oct-school-holidays
Friday 3rd October: 10-11am and 11-12pm.
All whānau welcome. Best suited for children aged 5–10.
Caregiver supervision required.
If your whānau has any specific needs, let us know—we’ll do our best to support everyone to participate, access, and enjoy the time together. Contact us at emma@thelightlibrary.com
