Washline Clothing Theme

I used this activity when I was doing my Seasons theme.

Materials:

• 2 A4 pieces of white cardboard paper
• 2 pieces of string
• Wooden pegs (I used 13)
• Cellotape
• Felt in a variety of colours
• Scissors

Method:

1. Cut out a variety of winter and summer clothing from the different coloured felt. For winter, I cut out trousers, mittens, long sleeve shirt, sock, hoodie, boot, wooly hat and a scarf. For summer, I cut out a swimming costume, a t-shirt, shorts, a cap and a slip slop.
2. Cut to pieces of string long enough to go from one side of the paper to the other with a slight dip.
3. Cellotape the pegs into place.
4. Peg the clothing onto the correct pages (Winter and Summer).
5. A more interactive way of doing this, is to put all the cut-outs into a pile and get your children to sort out which are summer items and which are winter items and peg them up themselves.
