Melton City Council will be celebrating National Children’s Week with a special family celebration event and a jam-packed program of free activities for children of all ages to enjoy.

National Children’s Week is celebrated from 18-26 October and recognises the talents, skills, achievements and rights of children.

As part of Children’s Week, Council will be hosting a free event for families on Wednesday 22 October from 10am-12pm at the Melton Community Hall (238 High Street, Melton).

Activities include a butterfly tent, giant bubble show, art, craft and sensory activities and an opportunity to meet local emergency services. There will also be an opportunity to find out about local programs and services for children and families.

Council’s libraries will also be hosting a range of fun activities throughout Children’s Week from story times, chess tournaments, and arts and crafts.

Parents and carers can get involved with a free online healthy eating workshop with an experienced dietician on Thursday 23 October, 6.30pm. The session will provide information on healthy food for young children and practical tips for managing mealtimes and picky eaters.
