Market Gates Shopping Centre’s Easter egg-stravaganza continues this week, with an arts and crafts activity to get the whole family aflutter.
The next two Thursdays, the shopping centre will have exciting activities for children to do, including storytelling, arts and crafts and a giant inflatable egg.
This Thursday, April 6, shoppers will notice a giant five metre high Easter egg has been laid in the centre. At 11.30am, 12.30pm, 2pm and 3pm, children will be invited inside the egg for special storytime sessions.
The sessions will be hosted by Ting Tang Children’s Theatre Company, featuring traditional takles, including the Beatrix Potter’s Tale of Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddle-Duck.
The following Thursday, April 13, artists from the Creeation Station will be on hand to help children design decorate and take home their own butterflies free of charge.
