Playful Pots at MoPA Geelong
Are you ready to potter, play and create?
With plenty of room for creativity, experimentation and a touch of crafty magic, Playful Pots is all about celebrating self-expression and the simple joy of making. It is a joyful, hands-on activation where little makers can turn simple materials into something blooming beautiful.
Children are invited to colour, decorate, and bring to life their very own paper pot, before it’s carefully shaped and secured into a sweet wrap-around pot for a cup or container.
