Delve deep into our oceans these school holidays and join staff at the WA Museum – Geraldton as we uncover fantastic facts and mysterious myths of some of the bizarre creatures that call the ocean’s cold, dark depths home.

Come along and learn about the curious features our amazing sea life have developed and the reasons they have had to adapt so they can live and survive in these environments.

The ‘Sea Monster Masks’ activity will be available for the first half of the holidays, followed by the ‘Sea Monsters or Mermaids’ from the 13 January 2016 - both are self-led activities. There are plenty of reasons to visit the Museum time and time again.

Sea Monster Masks (unassisted table activity)

Dates: 17 December 2015 – 12 January 2016

Cost: $3

Age: all ages

Times: daily from 9.30am – 4pm (excluding Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day)

Bookings: required only for groups of more than five

Unmask your inner monster! Will your sea monster be cute, creepy, funny or freaky? Use colour, cutting, folding and curling techniques to give your sea monster mask a distinctive look. What ocean depth does your sea monster live in – sunlight, twilight, midnight or the coldest, darkest and deepest abyssal zone?

Sea Monsters or Mermaids (unassisted table activity)

Dates: 13 January – 1 February 2016

Cost: $3

Age: all ages

Times: daily from 9.30am – 4pm

Let the depths of your imagination shine in this craft activity as you cut and colour your own dynamic deep sea monster or mermaid to take home for hours of fun and creative play. Will you create a new species of sea creature born for the cold dark zones or a cute mermaid to frolic in the warm waves?
