Planning a school holiday program is a huge task, and if you’re managing a Vacation Care or OSHC (Outside School Hours Care) centre outside of Sydney, finding high-quality, hands-on activities that don’t require a specialist instructor can be a huge challenge.
At Built By Kidz Activities, we believe every child in Australia should have the chance to pick up a hammer, explore STEM, and create something they are proud of. That’s why we’ve streamlined our interstate ordering process to ensure your service, whether in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, or even a rural community, gets exactly what it needs for a successful holiday program.
What Options are on Offer for Vacation Care Activities?
We have so many different activities to keep OSHC services ahead of the curve and keep things interesting, no matter where they’re located or the age range of the children in care!
- DIY Woodwork Kits: We offer activities like toolbox making, slide boxes and trinket boxes that are all handmade and crafted in Sydney by our team. But to keep things interesting and add variety for the kids, we also ship activities that are crafty, like wooden planes, stationery holders and more!
- Creative Craft Kits: To suit a wider range of children, our craft kits are a great way to keep the little ones entertained in vacation care. From photo frame making to personalised keychain creations, we keep kids happy for hours!
- Science Kits: We have all sorts of fun hands-on science activities to let children learn the basics of STEM through play.
- Origami Kits: For calmer days that require concentration, our origami kits are perfect for building fine motor skills while keeping it fun for everyone.
- Themed Kits: To maintain your theme of the week in OSHC, we offer themed kits that you can build around to keep the fun cohesive for everyone.
Why Interstate OSHC Services Love Our DIY Kits
Our kits are designed by our Sydney team to keep little hands busy and entertained. We’ve done the hard work of sourcing quality wood and pre-drilling components, so your staff can facilitate a “pro-level” woodwork workshop without needing a carpentry degree.
- All-Inclusive: Every kit comes with the materials and easy-to-follow instructions.
- Skill Building: Kids develop fine motor skills, problem-solving, and patience.
- Take-Home Treasures: Unlike a drawing that might get lost, our toolboxes, slide boxes, and trinket boxes are built to last for years.
Australia-Wide Shipping: How It Works
We serve our Sydney community proudly, but did you know we ship our DIY projects to every corner of the country? We offer shipping to New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, the ACT, Northern Territory, and Tasmania.
- Browse the Range: Visit our Vacation Care page to see our popular projects.
- Request a Quote: Simply fill out the Vacation Care Packs order form on our website. Tell us how many kids you’re hosting (we cater to groups from 30 up to 100+) and your location.
- Flat-Rate & Custom Shipping: We provide a transparent quote including shipping via reliable couriers.
- Timely Delivery: We recommend finalising your order at least 2–3 weeks before your program starts. This gives us 1–2 days to pack your order and allows 5–10 business days for transit (especially for our friends in WA or rural areas).
Pro-Tip for Interstate Coordinators
Many of our interstate clients choose to “mix and match” kits. By ordering a variety of projects, like some woodwork kits and some STEM activities, you can create a multi-day program that keeps kids engaged all week long while only paying for shipping once!
