In the year 2020 the world was hit with a pandemic – Covid-19 (Coronavirus). Many towns and cities were sent into lockdown to prevent the virus spreading. Children and their parents felt safer staying indoors, which meant no physical contact with anyone outside their household.
It’s time for kids to get creative!
I’ve produced a download to help you pass the time creatively during the many hours spent at home. You can create your own interplanetary antennas. Use your imagination – unleash your creativity and SAVE THE WORLD!
What You Will Need
- A colour printer connected to your computer/smartphone.
- White A4 paper or card.
- A sharp craft knife or scissors.
- Clear sticky tape or glue.
