Fun Crafts During Lockdown

Clare from Saint Leonards

Here's a fun way to keep kids busy for a while, and also to make a display of family or friends at a stressful time.
You need:
1 large sheet of card
several sheets of paper
scissors
glue
crayons, felt pens, or paint (or a mixture!)

Here's a fun way to keep kids busy for a while, and also to make a display of family or friends at a stressful time.
You need:
1 large sheet of card
several sheets of paper
scissors
glue
crayons, felt pens, or paint (or a mixture!)

On the cardboard, draw the outline of a peacock's body and legs - no tail. Keep it simple, and relatively small. You want most of the page for his tail.

On the sheets of paper, trace around hands - use as many family members and different size hands as possible. Left hands, right hands, big hands and little hands. You want as many hands as you want people on your 'tail', the more the better! Write the name of the person you want to remember on the hand, then colour it in. Be creative!

Cut out the hands, glue them to the sheet of cardboard to make the tail of the peacock.

Display it somewhere that you can all see and enjoy it :)

Post photos of your peacock on here so we can all see it :)

Hi,
Lets get in behind this initiative and put a Teddy Bear (or a Picture if you haven't got one) in a window that can be seen from the Street.
Me and My wife walked around the Block and counted (Hunted) 9 Teddy bears in the windows. From large full window "bears" to Tiny corner of the window bears. I am sure my Grandchildren would appreciate more.
We saw other children (Staying safe 2-3 metres away) with their parents getting excited to spot yet "another one" . Great in our Parkvale area.!
(If you like, let me know your bear and I'll let my grandchildren Know!)
Boredom is going for a walk, FUN is going on a "BEAR HUNT"
Thanks

How about another question?

Grant from Raureka

One expert believes it's the only way to get all the facts on the spread and the information that can give us a chance to eradicate the disease. I know the first response will be -"it would cost too much" - but that's not the issue. We have the NZDF able to go street by street, house by house, if necessary as long as we have enough test kits. The result would be able to find those with minor symptoms or those who are just carriers - what do you all reckon?
