Where You Can Use Your Creative Kids Voucher For Creative Classes And At-Home Craft Kits

The Creative Kids voucher is an exciting initiative from the NSW Government to help kids find their passion, learn new skills and get more... creative! The idea behind the creative kids voucher was that the $100 subsidy would help kids enrol in lessons and workshops for art, drama, dance, digital design, coding, music and more.

While the pandemic has undoubtedly had an impact on where the creative kids vouchers can be used (hello, online craft kits!), there is an epic range of places that accept the creative kids vouchers for both in real-life classes and online ones. From creative writing and cartooning to a diverse range of craft-based pursuits, here's where you can use your creative kids vouchers (& ignite little imaginations while you're at it!).
