Go outside, collect what you find and make something out of it. For example, for those of us who are lucky enough to live nearby woods and parks collect twigs, stones, pine cones, leaves and moss and then you create your own animal farm. This what we came up with. See the picture below. What creatures do you thing we made? Tell us in the comments below.

Check this blog regularly for new ideas. Our next post will be about all the rubbish you can collect while walking through the streets, the parks, the beach, anywhere...
It is very easy in times like this to close down into yourself. Most of us need to be told to look outside ourselves and see the very simple but effective ways of entertaining ourselves. Have you noticed how loud the dawn chorus is now the birds aren't getting gassed by all our outpourings from aeroplanes and cars! As Ineke's post has shown great little art works can be created from items we don't even normally look at. There are great movements around the world to collect plastic and the other rubbish we discard. This ghastly and testing time could be used as a time for renewal, getting back to where we were once, in a simpler world. Thank you…
Love the post Thanks for the idea :-)
