Kids are being invited to build cities, and dip into history and heritage too with take-home Rock, Paper, City craft and activity packs available from the Forbes Library.
There are two main activities:
Rock, Paper, City is a cardboard city project. Children can don their architect's hats and design either their own house, or other buildings, vehicles and adornments for a cardboard version of their town that will be on display, and grow as the entries come in.
There's several levels of difficulty and while the exercise offers children the chance to recreate the town, it also has some really fun suggestions like "make a unicorn stable, a slip 'n' slide, or a giant jumping castle".
The second challenge is for the Lego lovers: can you recreate some of Forbes' iconic buildings in Lego?
Take photos of the original building and the Lego version. Submit them together via email to library@cwl.nsw.gov.au and go into the prize draw.
Children have until Wednesday 29 July to submit their entries to any of our competitions, and winners will be drawn on Saturday 1 August.
To reserve a Rock, Paper, City Craft and Activity Pack, please book through Eventbrite and collect from Forbes Library.
