What you'll need
- the printed activity
- a pencil
- colouring pencils if children want to decorate the finished page
How to use it
Offer the activity as an individual choice or let two children compare ideas. The second page provides prompts that extend observation, drawing or discussion without prescribing one correct creative response.
Skills practised
symmetry, imagination and fine-motor control.
Make it easier
Use the centre line to mark matching points before drawing curves.
Make it harder
Make the second half deliberately different and explain each design choice.
Printing notes
Print at actual size on A4 paper. The activity and extension pages use high-contrast lines and remain readable in black-only mode.
