I feel fairly certain that as we approach the final weeks of the school holidays, parents start scratching their heads to come up with some additional creative fun ways to keep the children entertained. Once everything has been 'done'; all the touristy 'stuff' has been accomplished; school books and uniforms have been sorted, there is still the 'small' consideration of what on earth to do, to keep little hands and minds busy, that won't cost the proverbial 'arm and a leg'.

Luckily for us, Sunshine Coast Libraries have their ongoing FREE holiday activities at various Sunshine Coast libraries, ensuring that for a few hours every day, children can be kept busy with creative workshops and activities.



If you are interested in what is happening this week, from Monday 14 January to Friday 18 January, please click here. For FREE holiday activities for next week, Monday 21 January to Friday 25 January, taking parents right up to the Australia Day weekend, please see below.
