Take Home Craft

The Children’s team are busy ensuring that our young Waverley community can remain engaged, creative and inspired by providing weekly take home craft packs and an array of suggested reading material. Next time you are in the library stocking up on your book supply be sure to grab a pack to keep those little hands active at home. Why not also borrow a book, or five, to compliment the weekly craft activity?
