State Library of South Australia
It's time to get creative!
Does your child have a party planned over the school holidays? Or perhaps they have a birthday party coming up and want to get involved in the planning. Well visit our family table in the Treasure Wall and get them designing their own ultimate menu!
What will be on the menu? Something sweet or savoury or both! Hot and cold foods, or maybe food from other countries and what about the drinks!
Be inspired by our Sweet and Savoury exhibition and plan a menu for your special party on the printouts provided.
Can't make it to the Library, not to worry just download the template and design it from home.
