The Whanganui Regional Museum's holiday programme has taken off with a fortnight of bird-related activities planned.
The programme runs on weekdays until April 19 and Whanganui Regional Museum programmes co-ordinator Riah King-Wall said about 40 children across two sessions turned up to yesterday's opening day.
The children's first activity was to make wearable wings out of fabric. Cheyenne and Jordana Vuleta were part of yesterday morning's wing-making session and said they enjoyed the craft aspect to the holiday activities.
"I'm making little bird feathers down here, so when it opens it flies," Cheyenne said.
Ms King-Wall there were activities planned for each day including Anzac Day.
