The West Coast Blue Penguin Trust is planning for a bigger and better Penguinville experience during the Driftwood and Sand Festival 20-26th of January 2014. Come along towards the end of the Summer holidays and check out all the fun penguin activities we will have on offer.
Penguins on the streets of Hokitika
To raise awareness of the dangers faced by the little blue penguins on our coast roads, we will be creating a tribe of paper mache penguins that will “walk” around town. They will be created during the week of Driftwood & Sand by anyone who would like to join in, young and old.
Other activities on offer during the week:
Penguinville – Returns in a new location towards Sunset Point, secure your plot and create a superior penguin abode!
Beach games and stories – enjoy fun penguin themed games and stories with Zoe Watson
Flags and Bags – print a penguin onto a flag or your very own reusable shopping bag.
Recycled Penguin – make a penguin storage container out of an old fizzy bottle.
Adopt a penguin – paint your own plaster penguin and take him home.
Beach art – paint a penguin onto driftwood and stones, make a mobile, create a penguin from a mussel shell.
Penguin Cookie Munch-a-thon – decorate a penguin shaped cookie with your favourites (allergies catered for)
Colouring Competition – colour in our penguin family and display it at Penguin HQ
Junior Penguin Ranger – Fill out your Penguin Passport by completing tasks during the week and you can become a Junior Penguin Ranger and receive your official badge.
Check on our website in early January for timetable and registration details.
You just can’t beat a week on the beach!
See you all there…
