ARBOUR Week is celebrated from Tuesday to Monday, 1 to 7 September.
Get children involved in activities to encourage them to become aware of the environment and the need to preserve and protect it.
Decorating Spring Trees:
* Cut out a bare tree shape from brown construction paper.
* Have your child glue the shape onto a piece of white or blue paper.
* Cut out small flower shapes from tissue paper or construction paper.
* Have your child glue the flower blossoms on to their tree shape.
Tree Rubbings:
* Give your child pieces of white paper and some unwrapped crayons.
* Go for a walk and look for trees with interesting bark.
* Show your child how to lay their paper onto the bark of the tree, then rub across it with the side of their crayon, leaving a rubbing of the bark.
Tree Collage:
* Have your child look through old magazines and gardening catalogues to find pictures of trees.
* Then, have her tear or cut out the pictures.
* Give your child a piece of paper and some glue and have her glue the trees onto the paper, overlapping the trees and covering the paper.
