Inside Out - Dinosaur Dreams

​Presented with Melbourne Museum as part of Playbound Festival

Inside Out is a place to get creative with others and let your imagination roaaaaaar.

There will be all sorts of dynamic dino materials on hand for you to create artwork or build a play space together.

Explore a different idea and activity each time you visit; make a dinosaur sculpture out of cushions or felt; then turn it into a fabulous home for your fossils. Draw your favourite dinosaur's food or wrap and weave a nest for them using ribbon and rope. 

Come face-to-face​​​ with a Tarbosaurus and meet a baby Triceratops and learn all about their lives​. Listen to music and cast dinosaur shadows as you play or have a prehistoric tea party. Anything is possible!​
