Every Canberra family knows the big green shed. It’s a weekend ritual for many grown-ups. But here’s the secret: The local Bunnings is actually a hidden gem for families. It’s also great for kids right here in the ACT. It’s more than just tools and timber.
The main attraction for the little ones? The free Kids D.I.Y. Workshops. These run almost every weekend across Canberra stores. This is where the magic happens. Children, usually aged 3 to 12, can get hands-on. They build small wooden projects like toolboxes and planter boxes. In addition, they get creative with painting, mosaics, and craft activities. The theme changes every week. So, your kids will always learn something new!
Plus, let’s be honest, no trip to the green shed is complete without a stop. We are talking about the iconic sausage sizzle, of course! Snag a sausage, support a local community group, and feel like a true Aussie family.
The fun ramps up even more during the festive season. On, Thursday 4th December to celebrate the festive season, you can join in the local Bunnings Christmas Family Event. There will be kids’ activities, crafts, entertainment and more! Bookings are essential.
So, grab your keys, check your local store’s schedule, and get ready to D.I.Y. some family memories.
