Photo Scavenger Hunt for Kids – Dordogne

by The Little Den Leave a Comment

Photo Scavenger Hunt for Kids

Forget museum quizzes, treasure hunts and audio guides – why not try something completely different? If you have slightly reluctant travellers who are dragging their feet as you visit yet another chateau, museum or prehistoric cave, why not present them with a photo scavenger hunt! Make them the master of their own experience.

On a recent trip to a museum, Mr 9 was decidedly unimpressed when I presented him with a fun little quiz I’d picked up at the visitor desk and he made it very clear that he was not interested in filling in said quiz… …

Keepsake Subway Art Poster

by The Little Den Leave a Comment

I have always loved the pretty subway art posters that you find all over Pinterest – holiday themed ones, Christmas, Halloween, Birthdays. A few years ago I decided to have a go at creating one myself for our new playroom. Well after (literally!) several hours of toiling in Word (yes, I know… Word?!), I threw in the towel and phoned my very talented 3D artist brother for some help. Within about 10 minutes he called me back – hey your poster is winging its way to you, check your email! It was perfect 🙂 …

Marble Painting

Let your child create a modern art masterpiece!

Try out a simple activity involving marbles, paint and a tray! Miss 5 set this up all by herself whilst I was busy tidying up – I love that it was completely self-directed! She had done this at pre-school and so I discovered a little of what she gets up to during her days in class. I also loved that the method didn’t involve too much mess…

Miró Style – Blindfolded Drawing!

by The Little Den Leave a Comment

Miro Set up

This is one of these activities that literally took under 5 minutes to set up and was such a GREAT unexpected hit! We have so many wonderful children’s art books, including The Art Book for Children (click here for our US readers) and whilst flicking through it, I was drawn to the page on Miró. It mentioned that “Joan Miró’s art teacher once asked him to try drawing simple shapes, like circles, rectangles, stars and triangles, wearing a blindfold.”…
