A new afternoon colour-in program has landed at the West Sunshine Community Centre.
Colour-in with Effie and Flora is a fun, friendly and informal activity, where parents and kids enjoy lively conversations.
During the hour-long session, children have the opportunity to develop their creativity, social and fine motor skills.
Effie and Flora decided to start a colouring-in club one day while waiting for Flora’s brother, who attends Ezee tennis and basketball clinics at the West Sunshine Community Centre.
In this new program suitable for both parents and children of all ages, Effie and Flora lead the group in an afternoon of colouring and drawing.
Taking on feedback from participants, the duo are planning for origami, card making and a colouring-in competition for later in the term.
Brimbank mayor Bruce Lancashire said the new program is a great example of the kind of after school activities that can be found at Neighbourhood Houses and Community Centres across Brimbank.
“It’s wonderful to see the community-led activities at the centres. While the kids enjoy supervised creative play, parents and carers can meet other people from the local area. If you have an idea for a program or activity, I encourage you to get in contact with our centres,” he said.
The program will run on Mondays up until September 4, and on Thursdays until September 7, from 3.30-4.30pm at the West Sunshine Community Centre.
Parents or carer supervision is required for children under 12 years of age.
