Cool stuff to make

None of the things shown need any special equipment (parents will be glad to hear) in fact the majority use/re-use things you are bound to have kicking around the house. There are ideas for different ages and some are very, very quick and easy. Click on the link or the photograph to go to the instructions:

Cool stuff to Do (we've made it so you don't have to!)

A-Z Grid

This is great for filling in names of places, animals, bands, friends...loads of things. Here are some ideas that will keep the grown ups occupied too:

Aroma, Blob, Civic, Dead, Eve, Fluff, Glug, Hurrah - have you worked it out yet? It's words that begin and end with the same letter.
Aberdeen, Brighton, Carlisle, Doncaster, Edinburgh, Florence - places I've visited.
Aha!, Bang!, Crash!, Doink, EEEEK! - comic sounds
Alan Bennett, Barry Cryer, Catherine Deneuve, Duane Eddy - celebrities with consecutive initials

TIP: If you laminate it, you can use it again and again.

Maze, wordsearch, hidden message and more - all on a Battle of Prestonpans theme.

I love Prestonpans

Is it a bookmark? Is it a window sticker? How you display your civic pride is for you to decide - hey that's a rhyme.

Ovals

Drawing limited only by your imagination.
