Additional activities

Here are some craft ideas linked to our book this week:

Create a picture of a vegetable patch. You could use crayons or oil pastels to draw the outlines of the vegetables, then use watercolours or watered down paints for the rest of the picture.

Make a folding flowers card:

Create a windsock to hang outside or a kite to fly.

The windsock can be made by rolling a piece of card to make a tube, then decorating it with tissue paper and adding tissue paper streamers at the bottom.

You might enjoy creating this jellyfish paper plate kite.
