While you are staying at home we thought we would share some great craft activities you could do!

Week 1: Big letters

Leanne has been making some art resource boxes for the museum.  Lots of the ideas in it are very simple things you can do at home with everyday things.  To start off, try this big letter activity – think of a word that means a lot you and have fun GOING BIG WITH IT!!

Resources you’ll need

• paper or card (cereal boxes are perfect)
• pencil, colouring pens or pencils
• scrap material
• coloured paper
• glue

Draw outlines of your letters on card – don’t worry about making them perfect – think about turning a letter into a bubble shape.  Decorate the letters any way you like by colouring them in, sticking things to them etc.  You can keep them separate and stick them up, or make a little hole in them then thread them on to wool or string to hang up.

Here are some ideas for you:

• The Y is made from sticking on buttons
• The F uses fabric we had lying around
• The L is made from felt
• The M uses tissues screwed up into little balls and stuck on
• The A and I are painted
