COMMUNITY & THE ARTS FOR Kids BY Kids

Hello Maryborough!

My name is Phoebe Lee and I am eleven years old. For Kids By Kids tells kids what’s going on in Maryborough from their point of view.

The school holidays are here at last, yet after all that busybodying around at school each week, many can be at a loss for what to do. Maybe you like to relax or travel, or maybe both.

Here are some ideas of ways to spend your school holidays with friends and family!

Sometimes me and my family like to make little arts and crafts gifts for each other, ranging from drawings to dream catchers, that sort of thing.

It’s a really fun experience and it encourages us to spend time together, playing board games and baking. Me and my brother also like to invite friends over for a playdate or sleepover for some nighttime fun.

Some activities on in Central Maryborough include:

● Mary Ann steam train

● Queens Park & Military Trail

● ANZAC Park & Splash Slide

● The Mural Trail

● Hervey Bay Family Carnival

If you ever get bored during these holidays, try something new, like frying an egg or making a paper aeroplane! It’s important to get creative, as you can have lots of fun with your imagination. Bailey and Luke, ages eleven and eight, have shared how they like to spend their school holidays.
