Clothes Hanger Homes
 
Homes in the shape of a clothes hanger !!


Use the basic outline of a top & bottoms hanger to create a variety of homes.

Cover the whole hanger with clear plastic food wrap & collage on - use pva glue which will become transparent once dried, sticky tape or stick glue.
OR
Stick the Hanger frame to a sheet of sticky back plastic and let the younger children create their own art using the 'sticky side to keep their work in place :cheerful:

Good collage things for the smallest hands ~ sand - peat - rolled oats - tissue paper pieces and leaves !
Drop, spread, smear and decorate with sprinkled glitter and sequins :highfive:

The hangers outline can be used and adapted to make ...

A detatched house .. depending on your resources .. semi & terraced houses.
Bungalow
Block of flats or appartments
Horse drawn caravan ~ add wheels to the bottom.
Canal barge - See The Waterways Trust website for some great information and planning ideas.
Canvas Tents
Libraries & Museums .. a bit diverse maybe !!? :D
Castles & Regal homes.
Buildings & Coverings
Garden Shed ~ Carnival Marquee ~ Circus Big Top ~ Garages
Igloo - adapt the shape by building 'outwards !

Use scissors and hands to rip Brick and Block shapes, wooden planks and sheets of 'plywood ~ look at what some homes may need to stand on to stay safe, depending where they are ~ on water, soil, rock, shale, ice, .. or maybe the air :idea: :D

Have fun & please keep adding ideas ...
