✨ More info about each activity:

• Create a colourful and creative representation of a pride flag! Start with a template that has the flag of your choice in the middle and blank spaces around it. Then flip through piles of magazines and scrap paper to find colours that match your flag, then cut and paste onto your template.
• Learn how to fold an origami star using 2 different methods.
• Complete the paint-by-number arts project from OITO 2024. The project is a banner broken down into 11 sections that each showcase a key location from throughout Greater Shepparton. Each location is represented by an image that has been painted with multiple shades of 1 colour. The purple Mount Major section and the green Queens Gardens section have both been started but not completed.
• Create little planets by hydro dipping Styrofoam balls. Hydro dipping involves dipping an object into a tub full of water that has paint on the water’s surface. This method leaves the object painted with an interesting marble effect.
