Yesterday's post was looked at by 84 people and hopefully you have, or will, get a chance to send the results in. Hope you found it useful and the results were a success. I'll do more art ones each Monday as I can use a Sunday to get them prepared. Suggestions and requests always welcome. Usual contact details or just leave a comment below.
The weather looks to be bright and warm(ish) today so another outside one today.
How about design a garden nature trail. This could just be the start of this and can be added to when new things are seen. Just need:
paper
crayons or felt tips or paint
twigs, bbq skuas or short pieces of garden cane.
Take a wander around the garden and look closely. List things you find, however obvious. eg apple tree, daffodil, primrose. Then, take a piece of paper, A5 size perhaps and make a drawing of whatever you found. Colour the drawing, label it with a the name and put a date on it. Attach to a stick and place in the ground where you saw it
Perhaps put a question on the paper by the drawing which another family member has to answer. Don't forget to also count all the things that move as well, so a bird in a tree, bee on a flower, ant on the patio.
Challenge: can you get 10 places in the garden that have a question and a drawing?
Found these whilst I was planting some seeds yesterday, in between the sleet and rain showers. A red kite over the garden and a grey squirrel munching as it quietly sat on the fence.
Do have a go to keep active and doing something the children might enjoy getting involved in. Let me know things that you find. jforgham"at"hotmail.com. Look forward to getting them.
