Rock Paper Scissors with The Drawing Room
In our latest activity sheet Jessica Ashman asks children to find ways to describe their feelings in a drawing. If you want, you can put a stamp on it and post it to a friend to let them know how you are!
We are looking forward to receiving your weird and wonderful drawings at projects@drawingroom.org.uk and we will include them on our ROCK PAPER SCISSORS online exhibition.
