Looking for a fun way to spend your half-term break with the family? Look no further than the Quaker Tapestry Museum’s The Wild Escape event, funded by Art Fund! This is a major creative project for museums and schools inspired by the wildlife found in museum and gallery collections.
During half term and on Earth Day, children can take part in a variety of activities in our new family area. These activities are designed to engage and educate children about the marine life around the UK and the different types of habitats, while also addressing important issues such as climate change and pollution.
One of the activities on offer will be the Find the Sea Creature challenge, where families are given the task of finding all the sea creatures featured in the panels on display, as well as some additional creatures hidden throughout the museum.
Children can also let their imaginations run wild with the Design an Underwater Habitat activity, where they can create their own underwater habitats using collage materials. Their creations will then be displayed in the new family area of the museum.
If your children are feeling creative, they can also take part in the Create Your Own Sea Creatures activity, using craft materials to design their own sea creatures that can be displayed alongside their underwater habitats.
There will also be a selection outdoor activities to discover. In the museum garden, you will be able to explore and discover rock pools using a water table, showcasing the different creatures found along the UK coastline.
The garden will also offer a Painting the Ocean activity, where children can paint the ocean using images from the panels and photographs of the ocean for inspiration.
So, make sure to check out the Quaker Tapestry museum’s The Wild Escape activities this half-term for a fun and educational day out for the whole family!
