Post and Play sessions are a chance for families with children under five to learn and have fun together through play.

There’s lots of engineering, transport, and communication activities to explore!

Families can enjoy:

  • Sorting by colour and shape at postie sorting stations
  • Moving the mail by road and rail at transportation stations
  • Building tunnels, trains and chutes using your imagination to help keep our tiny town connected.
