Have fun making amazing images using sun-sensitive paper. You can buy the paper from craft shops or on the internet.
First, go outside and find things that will make really unusual patterns. Look for leaves, cones, feathers and twigs – the possibilities are endless.
Place your objects on to a sheet of sun-sensitive paper and leave it in direct sunlight for the time given in the instructions (usually 1–2 minutes). Then place the paper in a tub of water – now watch your creation appear before your eyes. Remove it, and lay flat to dry.
You will need: One paper bag per player, and one list of natural objects to collect per player.
How to play: Give each player a paper bag and a list of natural objects (a bird’s feather, a leaf, a smooth rock, a pine cone, a wild flower and so on) to collect. You can give the same list to all players or have each player look for a different group of objects.
Challenge the players to find all the objects on their lists. Set a time limit: maybe 20 minutes to find 10 objects. The first player to find all 10 objects is the winner. (You can also play this game on your own if you get someone else to make up a list for you.)
You will need: an oversized T-shirt, scraps of fabric, scissors, fabric glue, cardboard, a piece of elastic and paint.
The body: firstly, cut the fabric into fairly large feather shapes – you’ll need lots! Cut off the sleeves and then spread the T-shirt out. Starting at the bottom, glue the feathers along the bottom edge of the T-shirt. Start a second row a bit further up so as not to cover the bottom row. Place the first feather in-between two of the feathers on the bottom row (to give a more realistic feather pattern). Keep going until the T-shirt is completely covered with the fabric feathers. You can wear the costume with a long-sleeved top and leggings/ tights. Try wearing gloves over your shoes to act as feet.

The mask: draw out your mask on the cardboard, cut around your shape and then cut out the eyes. Paint the mask with your chosen colours. Make small holes in each side of the mask and thread the elastic through, tying a knot in each end.
