October Crafts - Animals

From camouflage and military animals to military hats and cap badges, each day offers a new theme inspired by objects and stories from the Museum collection. Families can take part in a themed craft during the morning session, explore objects connected to the day’s theme and complete a simple tick and find trail around the Museum.

Object handling and the tick and find trail are available during both morning and afternoon sessions, while crafts are available during the morning session only.

All activities are included with standard museum admission.
