Home Ed Creativity Fair

Published

Following last month’s really enjoyable Geography Fair, the girls jumped at the chance to have a display at this month’s Creativity Fair. These events are organised by a home ed Mum (Sarah from Let Them Be Small@mssburns on Instagram) and give home ed children an opportunity to share their work with other families.

Agatha chose to do her display on makeup which is her current love. She included photographs of the various looks she’s done and demonstrated how to do fake wounds. This is the first time she’s ever shown people outside the house what she enjoys doing, so it was a really special event for her.

Peggy went with the title “Things I have made” and duly filled the boot up with her recent projects, including Tinsel’s wardrobe, H’s buggy and a unicorn cushion. She absolutely loved showing her creations to everyone and could have quite happily spent the entire two hours doing that!

It was great to see what the other children had done and to talk to like-minded parents. Overall, another brilliant afternoon!

We had a great afternoon at YSP. We’ve been coming here since the girls were in pushchairs and it’s always an enjoyable day out.

The girls have requested to do more art this year, so we made a start today with drawing faces. Using a Twinkl worksheet (How To Draw A Face), we first drew an oval. We then drew a faint vertical line down the middle of the oval to give us a centre point. Next, we drew ... Read more
