Across the shire, students have flexed their creative muscles, trying their hands at an array of activities.

Among them have been a message board-making workshop at Rochester library on Wednesday, July 16.

Encouraged to write some meaningful words or create a beautiful design, each board was different to the last, with some even dedicated to parents and carers.

Olivia Hehir-Laurie, Katie Hehir-Laurie and Hamish Jemison were among the crafters at the Lockington activity.

Down the road in Lockington, students took inspiration from the environment for their nature wreaths.

Showing their personality, the young crafters used materials like twigs, leaves, gum nuts and shells, along with artificial flowers and sparkles, to craft their designs.

Across the two-week break, Campaspe Libraries ran a series of workshops and events for children at all six branches and depots.
