As we are learning about Robin Hood, we decided to learn some woodland craft skills.

Our first project is a fun, colourful toadstool, carved from a stick or branch.  We used a technique called, “whittling” where you shave off little bits of wood at a time to get the shape you want.

It was challenging but fun.  the kids went from hardly being able to remove any wood to being expert carvers!  They really had to persevere when things were difficult and understand that it takes time to get something to be proud of.
