The Lorax is another great story from Dr Seuss. A simple picture book with a very important message. Watch a reading of the story You Tube – The Lorax
Don’t be fooled into thinking this book and the linked activities are suitable only for younger learners. The book and it’s message is enjoyed from P1 to P7.
Make a Frame using Natural or Found materials
Sometimes we see things more clearly through a frame. Often what we have framed seems more valuable or important than it does without a frame. Make your own picture frame.
If you can outdoors into a garden or park , find 4 sticks and place them on the ground in the shape of a rectangle. Use this as the frame for your own piece of natural art. Activity 4 on this Woodland Trust webpage will give you some inspiration.
If you cannot go outdoors, use some long narrow objects (pencils, scrap paper, Lego pieces or rulers ,for example) to make a frame on the floor. Gather up objects from around your home (check with an adult first) and use them to create your own piece of art. If you can, take a photograph. Once you have had a chance to admire your picture or show it to someone else, return the objects used to where you found them.
Frame a View and Create a Piece of Art
This activity, suggested by the Tate Modern Gallery in London, shows you how to make a simple picture frame from a piece of paper or scrap card (perhaps from an empty cereal box). The Tate Modern website has lots of other activities suitable for young people you might want to try.
