The following are some great activities that you and your child can do together at home.
Collage
Draw a template of the Australian Flag onto a piece of plain paper or light cardboard. Use this template if you have trouble. Scrunch up small squares of red, blue, and white crepe/tissue paper into small balls. Using glue, collage the crepe paper balls onto the cardboard to design the flag. If you wish, cut out the flag and attach a straw to one side so you can wave it in the air.
Eat
Slice up a variety of fruit into small pieces. Using a skewer, make a hole through each piece of fruit. Take a long piece of cooking twine and thread it through each of the fruit pieces until you have a necklace. Wear the necklace until all of the fruit is eaten!
Experiment
Can you make a rainbow indoors? Fill a large glass with water and place a small mirror at the bottom of the glass, making sure it’s tilted slightly upwards. Take the glass and a torch into a dark room that has white walls. Shine the torch onto the mirror and watch to see if you can make a rainbow appear!
Play
Pretend you are a genie or fairy godmother and can grant wishes to all of your family and friends. What would you need to help you cast your spells? Make a wand by gluing 2 large star cut-outs onto either side of a wooden spoon. Staple the edges of the stars together so that they cover the top of the spoon. Use glitter glue to decorate the stars and make your wand complete.
No-Cook Playdough Recipe
Mix together 1 cup of salt and 3 cups of flour, then add in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Separately, combine 1 cup of water and a few drops of food colouring, then slowly add this to the other mixture until desired consistency is achieved. Kneading will help to improve the texture and children love doing this!
