NEW PRE-SCHOOL ACTIVITY BOOK

It’s here! Our NEW early years Lockdown Activity Book.

This is really similar to the original activity book (aimed at 5-10 year olds) but we’ve just switched out a few pages to make it suitable for the younger ones!

There are lots of fun things to make - nature boxes, rainbow mobile, weather game, colouring-in cards, cut-out paper dolls. Plus self portraits to create and lots of fun activities for the indoors and out!

SEE INSIDE - You can view me flicking through the book over on our Facebook page here

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

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!
