Furry Friend Headband & Lots of Dots by Yayoi Kusama
Ages 3+ (young children may need the help of an adult). Dalmatians, tabby cats and labradoodles! Cats and dogs come in many different colours, patterns, shapes and sizes. Celebrating the NGV exhibition Cats & Dogs, children can draw fur and other details inspired by their favourite pets on a set of cat or dog ears they can wear. Creating these furry headbands will stimulate young minds, encouraging play, imagination and creativity.
