Havilah Road Preschool moved its annual art show outdoors, to allow families to view their children's finest work.
Paintings on canvas papered the preschool's fence line on Tuesday, letting families enjoy the work in a novel setting.
Preschool teacher Gail Dwyer said they didn't want the children and families of 2020 to miss out on the event.
OTHER NEWS:
Mrs Dwyer said families had loved the event showcasing the children's work.
She said the community always jumped on board with the event, and this year was the same.
"In the Long Gully community ... they gather around us and they give us a big hug, they love the kindergarten," Mrs Dwyer said.
"COVID may have made it look different, but it hasn't stopped us."
Mrs Dwyer said the money raised this year would go towards buying more sandpit equipment for the preschool.
