Kids will paint ocean-themed plaster pieces, like fish, turtles, and seashells, while chatting with a real marine biologist. It’s a chance to explore the wonders of the ocean, ask curious questions, and learn amazing facts about sea creatures and their habitats.

A perfect mix of hands-on art and science, designed to spark imagination and inspire a love for the moana (ocean)!

Hosted by N.E. events and Nikki from Scientific_Ocean_Art

There’s a free Pocket Sized Play activity between 10.30am – 12.30pm every Saturday.
Proudly brought to you by Tauranga City Council.
