Quirky Kids Classes

Earn Your Tucker
City nippers will get a big dose of country life at this self-sufficiency workshop. Kids aged five years and above will have fun milking cows, churning their own butter, and potting seedlings before settling into some yummy jam and damper. Rouse Hill Farm. Sat 26 Nov, 10am–12 noon. $20.

Flying Trapeze
Many kids dream of running away and joining the Flying Fruit Fly Circus. This class means kids don’t have to go to such an extreme for an airborne thrill. And said thrill comes complete with a taste of juggling, acrobatics and plate spinning. Ages four–11. Sydney Trapeze School, Building 2K, 1–7 Unwins Bridge Rd, St Peters 2044. (02 9557 9668). Various dates and times. $38.

Reveal Trail
Sometimes museum exhibit explanations can be a little dry, but not when hilarious children’s author Morris Gleitzman has penned them! Gleitzman has positioned a number of clues around the museum in invisible ink, and it’s up to your kids to find them all in this DIY museum workshop with a difference. For ages six and up. Powerhouse Museum. Mon–Sun 10am–5pm. $7. 

Seamanship Skills and 17th-century Sailing 
No child’s education is complete without a good hard look at a 17th-century sea vessel. Luckily the Maritime Museum has such a jacht in the Duyfken. Teens will learn about life on board, as well as all the seamanship basics: rigging, knotting, splicing and in-galley cooking. Maritime Museum. 4–5 Nov, 5.30–7.30pm. $55–$65. 

White Rabbit Super Saturdays 
Our favourite contemporary Chinese art collection is more child-friendly than you might think. In fact, on the first Saturday of the month, White Rabbit conducts workshops, tells stories and leads adventures around the quirky and cool contemporary gallery space. White Rabbit. Sat 5 Nov, 2.30–3.30pm. Free.
