The Education Department of the National Museum took part, on invitation, in Bainsvlei Library’s Holiday Fun program.

At first, the learners and their parents were surprised and not sure what to expect when they saw us unpacking some baking ingredients, but very soon, they were amazed to see what they could do with it. We presented a very successful and much enjoyable hands-on activity where learners and their parents use these items to make their own environmental friendly clay and then made a wide variety interesting objects from it.
