‘ Love builds happy home’.

We have all been spending a lot of time at home with our families. These are the times we all need to be mindful, helpful and caring for each other and the best time to make fun memories with your loved ones. A nice way to display your love of your family and cherish precious moments are through family portraits.

Today we are going to make our own Lego family portraits. You can include as many family memembers as you like ( even the dog).

EQUIPMENT: Cardboard, Scissors , paint , A4 paper, paint/ coloured pens/pencils, paint brush, water, glue and black marker. ( Optional old unwanted Lego pieces, photo frame and glue gun)

1. Cut out small squares representing each member of your family. Then cut out the same amount of squares but smaller for the top of the Lego head.
2. Now all of your squares have been cut out paint/ colour in YELLOW ( pets can be coloured anyway you like) . Leave in a safe place to dry place.
3. Once filled in glue down your heads to represent each family member. Now they are stuck down, paint or draw body and leave to dry.
4. Now all dry use your black marker to add some detail.
5. Add a small quote/ family name/ date at the bottom of your Lego family portrait.
6. You can make individual Lego cards for family members you haven’t seen to let them know your thinking of them.

OPTIONAL:

1. Collect your old Lego and place around your frame. Once satisfied with where you have placed them use your glue gun to secure ( get help from adult).
2. Once dry mount your portrait into the frame and find a nice place to display your work.
