Bunnings Events & Kids❜ Activities June 2026

Did you know Bunnings isn't just for adults? Every weekend, your local store runs free Bunnings kids' activities and events. These D.I.Y. Workshops and activities are genuinely one of Sydney's best-kept weekend secrets for families.

Kids get hands-on with real projects, learn practical skills, and best of all, take home something they made themselves.

Free Bunnings Kids' Activities — Saturdays & Sundays Across Sydney

What Will Kids Make?

The theme changes every single week, so there's always something new to discover. Past and recurring projects include: toolboxes and toy trucks, mini planter boxes, painting projects, recycled wall art, mosaics and crafts, and gardening fun.

Ellaslist tip: Spaces fill up fast, especially on long weekends! Book ahead via your local store's page on Bunnings → Stores → Find a store → More details. Each store runs its own schedule and themes, so if you're curious about what the theme is for this week, it's best to check your local store's website or social media pages.

What Else is There For Kids at Bunnings Stores?

Indoor Playgrounds

Most Bunnings stores in Sydney have a free kids' playground tucked inside,with climbing structures and slides, not just a bench and a colouring sheet. It's a genuinely handy spot to let little ones burn off some energy while a parent takes their time browsing the aisles. Look for it near the entrance of your local store; staff are always happy to point you in the right direction.

Special Family Events

A few times a year, Bunnings goes all out with free Family Nights tied to big occasions, such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Easter and Christmas.

These are evening in-store events where the whole family is welcome, and they're a lot more than just a browse around the hardware section. There are free kids' craft activities, D.I.Y. demonstrations, games, giveaways, and sometimes special guests making an appearance. They're a lovely low-key outing that won't cost a thing, and the kids usually love the buzz of being in the store after hours. Keep an eye on your local store's page or social media to find out when the next one is coming up.

At-home D.I.Y. Videos

Can't get to a store this weekend? The fun doesn't have to stop at home. Bunnings has a free library of kids' craft and D.I.Y. videos, covering everything from simple woodworking projects to garden activities and creative art ideas.

They're designed to suit a range of ages and skill levels, so whether you've got a curious 3-year-old or a confident 10-year-old who wants a proper challenge, there's something to suit. Most projects use basic materials you'd find around the house, making them a great rainy-day activity or school holiday filler.
