• Dye hard-boiled eggs and decorate them with felt tipped pens, stickers,
feathers, sequins, gems, lentils, seeds. Create characters out of them.

Draw a piece of fruit or tin of food.
Choose a piece of fruit or a tin of food and place it on a plain piece of paper.
Make a drawing, looking carefully at the shapes, colours, textures and
patterns.
*Sketch the main shape in pencil.
*If you have coloured pencils/pens, add colour.
*Add textures, patterns and details.

times of the day.
