Holiday Art Fun - Hot Teddies

Come join the Diamond Valley Art Society in the Mummery Room for a hands-on, fun-filled activity! This workshop is perfect for kids aged 8-15, where you'll get to create your very own Wheat Bag Bear to take home! A practicing artist will guide you through every step, and there are only 10 spots per class, so you’ll get plenty of attention while making your cute little teddy bear. Each kit comes with everything you need: a sewn teddy made from cozy polar fleece, Aussie wheat, cotton, needle, and ribbon for a lovely bow. You’ll just add the wheat, stitch up a small slit, and tie on the bow. Then, voila! You’ll have your very own bear, ready to be heated in the microwave for 1 minute, so it’ll be warm and snuggly for bedtime. Plus, there are lots of different designs to choose from! Important: Parents or caregivers must stay with the children or remain nearby and contactable during the session. Sessions run for 45 minutes, starting at set times. Parking: The farm can get pretty busy during school holidays, so make sure to give yourself plenty of time to find parking. If the main lot is full, there’s additional parking at the Eltham North Adventure Playground, just a 5-minute walk along the bike path to the North Entrance. We can’t wait to see you there! It’s going to be a blast! About Diamond Valley Art Society This activity will be led by a practising artist.
