Go green with upcycling! Learn about where your trash goes, and how we can play our part in saving the environment by making our own toys instead of buying them new. In this session with local children's authors Evelyn Sue Wong and Sophia Huang, get inspired to upcycle through the delightful reading of Just a Little Mynah and Mr Roll Finds New Life. Get hands-on, create and bring home your own upcycled craft. This programme is suitable for children aged 4 to 6 years old.
