This winter holiday, Oude Leeskamer invites children and families into the enchanting world of Vetplantfeetjies: Waar die vetplante fluister – a colourful and interactive exhibition inspired by the beloved children’s book, Vetplantfeetjies, written by Antjie Krog and Ingrid de Kok, with illustrations by Fiona Moodie. Rooted in the beauty of South Africa’s indigenous flora and fauna, the exhibition celebrates imagination, storytelling and the quiet magic hidden within our natural landscape. 

Designed to spark curiosity and creativity, the exhibition will feature a variety of educational games, hands-on activities and fun crafts that encourage children to explore the wonders of nature through play. Young visitors can look forward to immersive reading corners, interactive learning experiences and creative workshops inspired by the world of the succulent fairies. 

At the heart of the exhibition is a love for reading and education – creating a space where stories come alive, imaginations flourish and children are encouraged to engage with books, art and the environment in meaningful and memorable ways.

Join us on Saturday the 4th of July from 10:00 for the opening of this exciting exhibition. No booking necessary – bring your friends!
