Ollie and Sophie Loveridge have something of their own to hang on their Christmas tree. The siblings were two of several children taking part in the Whanganui Regional Museum's holiday programme this week.

Until Christmas Eve the museum will be hosting a range of activities for children as they begin school holidays.

Each day is capped at 20 children and families can register at the front desk.

The programme consists of crafts in the morning while a Father Christmas in residence makes an afternoon appearance.

A Christmas photo booth has also been on site each day.

The daily craft events also include making a Scandinavian star garland, glowing lanterns and jingle bell ornaments.

Whanganui Regional Museum programmes co-ordinator Riah King-Wall said activities will kick off again on January 6 as part of the Whanganui Summer Programme.

"This is just a little bit of something to do pre-Christmas and at the start of the holidays," she said.

"We find lots of people are coming in and spending the rest of the afternoon in the museum."
