Get ready to party when NGV Kids on Tour comes to you these school holidays! From drawing decorative cakes and creating wearable party hats to playing fun party games, activities from the NGV are coming to Glen Eira this summer.
Please Note: Bookings open 9am on Monday 22 December.
We wear hats for many reasons. Hats can protect us from the sun, rain or cold weather. They can also be part of a uniform, express style, or represent a special tradition or celebration. A party hat is usually cone-shaped and secured with an elastic string under your chin. It’s often worn at birthday parties or celebrations like New Year’s Eve.
In this activity, children are invited to decorate a party hat with stickers. Making and wearing party hats helps kids develop, fine motor skills.
All materials are provided. Adults may need to assist their child.

Take a walk through the forest with artist Olaf Breuning in My Nature Book, a charming story that brings nature to life. A delightful board book that features vibrant woodblock paintings and joyful illustrations by Olaf Breuning, making it an ideal introduction to the wonders of nature for young minds. With its playful designs and interactive elements, it’s the perfect read for toddlers who are just beginning to explore the world around them.
Look forward to a storytime session where young children can participate by acting out new words on each page. Before long, everyone will be singing like birds, crawling like bugs and buzzing like bees.
Children must not be left unattended.
In this creative drawing activity, children can find out what makes a forest the perfect home for birds, insects and bugs, as well as woodland animals. As they draw, they learn about forest habitats, the relationships between plants and discover how different environments support wildlife.
