The NGV Kids on Tour program made a stop in Gladstone Park and Lalor this week, where children took part in some creative school holiday fun. The activities included an animal headband making class, where participants designed cat or dog ear headbands inspired by their own pets, created pompom flowers and clothes for paper dolls and took part in Bogong moth drawing activity with Wadawurrung artist Deanne Gilson. Star Weekly photographer Ljubica Vrankovic stopped by Gladstone Park and Lalor libraries to capture the fun.
