Art

 

Activity 1:

Go into your garden and collect leaves, twigs, petals (anything you can find). Use them to create a picture of a dream garden you might find in Alice in Wonderland.

 

Activity 2:

Use nature as colouring pencils. Scrunch up leaves, grass and petals to create your own colouring pencils. Rub them onto a piece of paper and draw your own picture.

 

Activity 3:

Freeze water mixed with food colouring. Once frozen use the coloured blocks as paint. You could paint a picture of your garden, your favourite animal, your family or anything you like.

 

Activity 4:

Make some Happy Hoppy Paper Bunnies. You could make them into Easter cards for your family and friends or keep them as wall art.
