It’s that time of year, again, when school holidays have parents wondering how they are going to keep their kids amused over the next fortnight.

But never fear because there is plenty happening in and around Kiama for schoolchildren, and parents as well.

If you haven’t checked it out already, make sure you catch the Kiama Sculpture Walk, which will be on display until 15 October.

There are 20 unique creations dotted around the coastline from Hindmarsh Park to Kiama Harbour.

High school students can take part in outdoor excursions, arts and crafts workshops, and gaming showdowns while the local libraries are a great place for the younger kids to hang out during the holidays with a great mix of free and low-cost activities, including the always popular LEGO workshops.

They can also take part in a cardboard cat workshop which pays homage to one of the Kiama Sculpture Walk's outdoor installations.

Kiama and Gerringong Libraries are also hosting storytelling sessions, movie nights and STEM-inspired challenges.

There will be a family self-portrait challenge at Kiama Library next Tuesday, a free event which encourages anyone aged 5-105 to build a picture of themself using only Lego bricks.

It’s up to each master builder to decide how easy or complicated they want their creation to be - the only limit is their imagination.

Lego builders can also head to Gerringong Library on Thursday for a “picnic” where they will be

One of the more unusual workshops will be at Gerringong Library next Tuesday from 10am-1pm where kids aged 7-12 can make a gorgeous felt moth keychain and badge to wear, decorate their school bag or give to someone as a gift.

There’s a whole heap more at the libraries including a crochet workshop, spool racers, fabric bird making, decorating a herb garden, digital illustrations, mosaic snails, felt moths and more.

At Kiama Leisure Centre, there will be five four-hour school holiday events where kids can make a splash on inflatable pool toys while also mastering new skills in gymnastics.

If your child is more advanced in the pool, there are also Squad Intensives swimming programs during the school holidays so they can shave a few seconds off their personal best times.

And the best news for parents looking to get their kids out of the house is that the long-range forecast for Kiama is for sunny days over the next two weeks.

So there is no excuse for kids not to leave their electronic devices at home and get out and about.

All you have to do is convince them of that. Good luck.
