Reveal Pictures - part 2
Lemony lemonade
This craft is in relation to the “Celebrating difference and neurodivergence - part 3” article by
Joanna Grace, and was created with her son imagining what his baby brother might be thinking
about. This is similar to the activity associated with the previous article.
This recipe has been
kindly supplied by
Katherine Houghton, from
her wonderful cookbook
“Early Years Recipes for
Children”, available to
purchase here.
You will need
Instructions:
• Paper
• Pens/crayons/coloured
pencils
• Glue sticks
• Optional: Cardboard (some
packaging boxes that books
or DVDs are delivered in
are perfect for this as we
discovered)
1. Fold an A4 piece of paper
so that the two end quatres
meet in the middle of the
length, hiding half of the
page.
2. Take a second piece of
paper and attach it to the
first so that it folds down
covering the half page.
3. You now have three layers:
1) the folded outside, 2) the
covering flap 3) the inside.
4. Draw the outline of a head
on the first and third layer.
On the middle layer draw a
brain or alternatively, print
a brain drawing. We have
a free template you could
download here.
5. Ask the children to draw
their own face on the
outside layer.
6. Invite them to colour in the
brain that is revealed when
they look inside their heads:
7. Ask them what their friend
might be thinking and have
them draw this below the
flap.
