Kids only!


Spring is one of the most beautiful and welcoming seasons of the year, so grab your coat, put your wellies on and get outside!

You can make your den as simple or as fancy as you want. For younger children, an old blanket draped across the washing line or a great big cardboard box will do the job. If an adult will help, you could nail together some old bits of wood (or pallets). Leave space for a door, use a saw to cut out a window, and then throw a tarpaulin over the top for the roof.


Look for some fairly big logs, place one inside for a seat and then use a slightly bigger one for a table.


Now enjoy it, sit quietly and see what animals or birds you are able to spot. Listen to them, draw them, or even take your own photos of them!


58 GROW YOUR OWN... CRESS HEAD


You will need: egg shell, egg cup, coloured pens/paint, googly eyes, glue, cotton wool and a packet of cress seeds.


1. Wash out your egg shell. 2. Place the egg shell in the egg cup, then draw, paint or glue on your facial features. (You may want to practise your face on paper first before drawing it onto the egg.)


3. Dampen a little cotton wool and place it inside the egg. 4. Sprinkle a layer of cress seeds on top of the cotton wool.


5. Cover the egg with a piece of paper until the seeds begin to sprout, then remove the paper and move it to a windowsill.


6. Sprinkle with a little water every day.


7. After your egg has sprouted fully, give it a haircut and then ENJOY – you could eat it in a nice egg or cheese salad sandwich!
