NATURE FRAMES

Why not get creative and bring a little bit of nature into your home.

EQUIPMENT: PAPER, GLUE, PAINT OR ( COLOURED PENS/ PENCILS/ CRAYONS) FLOWERS, LEAFS, (OLD PHOTO FRAME & SMALL OLD TOY OPTIONAL)

  1. Go into your garden or the next time you go out for a walk collect or take pictures of some flowers, plants and bugs if you can. (make sure u wash your hands after you collect your bits of nature).

2. Now draw and paint/ colour a landscape on paper

3. Once dry place your nature bits or print and cut out your images. When you have placed all your objects onto your painting it is now time to glue it all down.

4. Leave to dry. Now your collage is finished you can put it up for all the family to see.

Extra: To make your collage stand out a little more you can put it into a frame. For this part you will need an old frame, glue gun, paint brush, acrylic paint and a old small toy.

  1. Remove the glass/ plastic, then paint your frame any colour you want.
  2. Once dry glue your chosen toy or 3D object onto your frame, add detail on your frame and leave to dry.
  3. Make sure your frame id completely dry put your frame back together and add your collage. Now find a special place to hang your creation for the whole family to see.

DIY FOOTBALL GAME

As we can’t go out and play football why not make your own football game and play with your family.

EQUIPMENT: BOX,SCISSORS, CARD X2 (7cm by 7cm) GLUE, RULER, PAINT , PAINT BRUSH, WATER, X2 PENCILS, GREEN PAPER (OPTIONAL) GLUE GUN/ STICKY TAPE

  1. Cut out a rectangle (goal) at each end of the box.

2. Glue down your green paper in side the box or paint the base of the box green. Once dried add your white pitch lines.

3. Now get your pieces of card and draw 2 players, painting them different colours.

4. Once your players have completely dried now glue your pencils to the back of the card players (glue bottom of pencil to back of card).

5. Now you can add some detail on the inside of your box – members of the crowd, stadium signs use your imagination.

6. All you need now is a small ball, if you do not have a ball roll up a small piece of paper into the ball. Place your players into the goal and start shooting.

Keep score of all your goals. Why not start a family tournament.

Have fun and stay creative.
