SCHOOL holidays are just around the corner and for those staying home this break there are plenty of free activities on offer to keep the kids busy and entertained.

With short drives to activities from Beerwah to Maleny, comes more time on your hands to keep busy and active throughout the break. 

Providing morning easter fun, the Bank Foot House will be hosting a free egg hunt from 10am to 11am on April 5, allowing kids to search the two-acre property with friends. For another easter themed activity, head over to the Landsborough Museum from April 1-16 with free entry for easter egg basket making, an easter egg hunt with a chance to win a prize. 

The Bank Foot house is also providing a family-fun-day to connect with nature for the celebration of the First Nations culture from 10am to 2pm on April 15.

Join in on the workshops such as cultural education art, painting, learning some of the cultural dances all with the beautiful view of the Glasshouse Mountains from the two-acre property. 

Beerwah Community Hall will also be hosting a movie night on April 13 with free food and drinks provided, welcoming children of all ages. 

For children who are keen on spending their well pent-up energy, head to the Beerwah Skate Park on April 11 from 9am to 5pm to celebrate the Beerwah Youth Jam-Skate Competition.

Grab your wheels to participate in the free lessons as well as the chance to enter the scooter and skate competition.

Spending your free time at the library these holidays can be educational and beneficial for your children.
