THE ULTIMATE LOCKDOWN ACTIVITY BOOK

We’ve been racking our brains over here at TMH HQ for things we can do for the kids during lockdown. Here’s one of many things we have planned, our new 35 page activity book!

Colouring-in, games, postcards to cut out to send to friends, a mini rainbow mobile to make…. Plus wellbeing activities, nature play suggestions, crafty outdoor ideas and more!

It’s a lovely keepsake to look back on in years to come.

Suggested age: 4-10 year olds

INSPO: POTATO PRINTING

We’ve gone old school!

Potato printing is a fab activity for all ages (adults too!!) and one that’s easy to do in lockdown, especially if you’ve got a bunch of potatoes which need using up!

Download our step-by-step guide and printing tips here and check out our inspo below - from leaf printing to gift wrapping, the possibilities are endless.

We can’t wait to see what you create! Share your makes at @themillhousehertford

CRAFTING OUR WAY THROUGH LOCKDOWN 1.0

Lockdown hit on 23rd March 2020, we closed our doors and setup our art box subscription service to keep children busy at home. We delivered boxes weekly to lots of lovely locals aged between 3-9. Here are some snaps from those crafty times… A huge thank you to all those who got involved and supported us!
