Looking for

a project to

brighten up

your homework

zone? Fill an old

painted picture

frame with

corkboard. Fold

lengths of washi

tape back on

itself, pressing

the sticky sides

together, and pin

it to the board in

a lattice pattern.

Trim tape to fit.

Hang it above

your desk using

picture-hanging

strips. Now you

have a super

spot to pin notes

and reminders.

These highlighters in ice-cream shapes and

shades will bring summery fun to your desk while

you do your homework. Just remove the paddle-pop

stick ends to reveal pink, green or yellow markers.

T-Rex in the house! To make a heavy-footed predator, use a

photocopier to enlarge the Dinosaur template (below) to 250%.

Cut out template pieces using scissors then place them on thin

cardboard – an old cereal box will do! Trace around the templates

with pencil (don’t forget to trace out 2 feet) then cut out. Using

acrylic paints, paint both sides of cut-outs in any colour

you wish – a mix of greens looks cool! Let dry after

each coat. Paint a round eye on each side of your

dinos using white paint and a dot of black. Slot

the parts together, using the picture as a guide.
