A special day of STEM play, storytelling and First Peoples’ culture—designed just for little explorers!
Bring your tiny tots to a joyful, themed playdate at Scienceworks where early learning meets cultural celebration. Little Kids’ Day In offers preschoolers and their grown-ups a vibrant introduction to First Peoples’ knowledge systems, right in the heart of Melbourne.
Each event has a unique theme—coming up this year: Caring for Country on August 4, Up Up and Away on October 17, and Ready Set Glow on December 1. Families enjoy interactive storytelling, craft, movement, and cultural experiences including a Welcome to Country ceremony, didgeridoo performance, Bunjil feather art-making, and Storytelling Under the Stars in the planetarium. PLUS, hours of STEM-inspired open play in zones like Kinder Clubhouse, Book Nook, Tiny Tinkerers and Bub Hub.
Tailored for little learners, this inclusive experience blends play-based STEM activities with Indigenous cultural knowledge in a warm, sensory-rich environment. Your preschooler gets to be fully involved—asking questions, building, creating and celebrating Country—while you relax in a community of like-minded families. It’s joy, discovery and connection in one unforgettable day.
✨ Ready for a Saturday of celebration, culture and curious play? Pack your little one’s explorer hat—and secure your spot for the next Little Kids’ Day In: Caring for Country!
