KIDS of all ages made crazy critters and cute, cuddly creatures at Dandenong Market last week.
Free school holiday craft workshop Crazy Creatures Animal Craft will run on market days throughout the school holidays.
There’ll be a new activity each day, from animal masks to menagerie mobiles, paper bag puppets and story board felt animal pictures.
Award‐winning face painter Sci Westwood last week guided the crafters to create Easter-themed animals, like bunnies and chicks.
Workshops will be held in Market Square, Dandenong Market, corner Clow and Cleeland streets, Dandenong, from 11am to 3pm on Tuesday 7, Friday 10, Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 April. No bookings are required.
