Monthly Play Pop Ups with Junkyard Rascals at Wollongong Botanic Garden - January School Holiday dates below!
A giant collection of repurposed and natural materials topped off with big blue blocks, plus the natural wonders of the Wollongong Botanic Garden's Sustainable Garden. There is so much to do; the only limit is imagination. You'll be amazed by what you child creates and how they play, it's different for every one and they can follow their own interests.
Brilliant for emotional regulation, or kids with any sensory issues, ASD or neurodiversity. There is no defined way to play, so kids can engage in the way that suits them and their needs. Children with a physical disability are welcome.
