Dry Needle Felting Session – MyTime Bentleigh East

28 May 2026 10.30am - 12.30pm

This hands-on workshop introduces parents and carers to the calming and creative practice of dry needle felting.

Participants will learn the basics of shaping wool fibres using simple tools, creating small decorative or tactile pieces in a relaxed, supportive environment. The session is designed to promote mindfulness, reduce stress, and provide carers with a gentle creative outlet they can continue at home. No prior experience is needed, and all materials are provided.

This event is free to attend, and morning tea is provided.

Preschool aged children (0-6 years) are welcome. While you join the activity, a MyTime play leader will engage children in meaningful play nearby.
