A.E. Macdonald, Early Canberra, 1913, oil on canvas

This specialised early childhood learning program is a gentle introduction to the past. Through storytelling, play and song children learn about activities that happen on a farm. A practical butter-making workshop helps children to understand where butter comes from, allows them to make their own butter and taste the finished product.

This learning program aims to:

  • Introduce the concept of “the past”
  • Expose children to historical concepts and equipment
  • Explore the notion of a farm and the activities that might happen on a farm, such as butter-making
