Holiday Workshop Make Do and Mend. Make a catch-a-ball toy or a sock puppet!with artist Abby
Your challenge is to create some toys by recycling household materials.
During WW2, children played many different games, both in groups and individually. Families were short of money so only the rich children had toys. Other children may have had a football and maybe if lucky, a couple of marbles.
Most children made their own toys and played for hours because they did not have video games or television!

Make Your Own Shoebox Trench Using Recycled Materials.
On the Western Front, the war was fought by soldiers in trenches.
Trenches were long, narrow ditches dug into the ground where soldiers lived.
There were many lines of German trenches on one side and many lines of Allied trenches on the other.
In the middle was no man’s land, which soldiers crossed to attack the other side.
Trenches were originally designed to protect World War I troops from machine-gun fire and artillery attack from the air .
The typical trench system in World War I consisted of a series of two, three, four, or more trench lines running parallel to each other and being at least 1 mile in depth. Each trench was dug in a type of zigzag so that no enemy, standing at one end, could fire for more than a few yards down its length

Create your own Dazzle Art ‘Dazzle’ was a way of camouflaging of ships by painting them with bold, geometric patterns. It was widely used in the First World War and into the Second World war too. ‘Dazzle’ didn’t make a ship invisible to its enemies, but the shapes were disorientating and confused the enemy as it was difficult to accurately gauge the distance, direction and speed at which it is travelling, so made it harder to attack.

Printmaking is the technique for printing text, image or pattern onto another surface like paper or fabric. It is just one way an artist can create a really cool artwork to be proud of! 🙂 Printmaking is definitely lots of fun and the best thing about it, is that you can make repeat copies easily too.
Block-printing traditionally involves carving an image in reverse onto a piece of wood. The woodblock is then inked and printed onto paper or fabric.
