We are temporarily reviving our Children's Blog to provide some resources for families who are stuck at home during this period of social distancing due to COVID-19. We will put together a variety of activities for you and your families every day at 1:00 pm. Watch for weekend Boredom Busters on Saturday and/or Sunday. See which ones you can do, and if you get the chance, share the results with us on any of our social media platforms, which will be listed at the bottom of this blog.
Today's theme is Feather Fun!

You can make so many fun crafts with feathers. Like this Owl Pinecone Craft, or these great Feather Necklaces! Put together a mish-mash of objects to create some fantastic found feather art! The only limit is your imagination!
Feather Art in a Box: https://artfulparent.com/nature-drawing-for-kids-feather-art/
This incorporates so many great activities. Go on a nature walk and collect some fallen feathers (make sure you wear gloves). Lay them out, study them, and use them as inspiration to draw out your feathers, then add some watercolour paint for a unique splash! Use an old shoebox lix as a frame, or you could get real fancy and put it in a picture frame!
Hopefully these activities help break up the day, and get your family engaged in fun with feathers!
