Tinker Time

At Tinker Time, storytelling meets creative play and STEAM learning – perfect for curious tamariki to explore their interests and their world around them.

A young child tinkers with an electrical circuit while his caregiver looks on.

Introduce your little explorer to the wonderful world of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths) at Tinker Time! Come prepared for fun stories and interactive play utilising everything from robots and beakers to finger-paints and trowels! This programme is perfect for tamariki aged 2 - 5 years accompanied by their caregivers.

Our regular schedule is presented below, but you can always check our event calendar for the most up-to-date times and locations.
