Have a little one who loves spotting ants or watching worms wriggle? Waverley Library is inviting preschoolers to explore tiny creatures through stories, craft and hands-on play this November.

Minibeasts Storytime and Play is designed for children aged 3–5, with a busy morning of activities inspired by the small creatures around us.

Stories, slime and bug-inspired creativity

Children can build their own anthill, explore worm slime and make a stick creature, alongside other bug crafts. There will also be minibeast stories and a chance to learn about bogong moths and their remarkable migration.

Before heading home, browse the library’s bug books and borrow a few to keep the discoveries going.
