Newspapers on your Head

The Brief:

To design an Easter bonnet.

To make a prototype of chosen design using newspaper and magazines as the main materials. It must fit and stay on your head. Time limit: 25 minutes.

You may use only the tools that are supplied i.e. tape, string, scissors, and stapler.


Great activity, suitable for 5 year olds and upwards depending on what the brief is. We had a little parade afterwards. Providing various materials gives children more choice and less restrictions, but limiting materials can encourage children to explore a wider range of different techniques.

Since I cycled to Uni, I had to throw mine away after class, there was no way it was getting home intact :(
