This download contains the printouts and resources from my recent Keep In Touch workshop for children. The concept of this activity is to encourage writing and drawing while connecting with a friend or relative by post. You can also factor in the walk to the post box or perhaps an outing for children to draw pictures/write about. 

 

This document contains 5 A4 pages:

  • Guidance for children on how to write a letter.
  • Templates to trace or copy
  • A list of things to enclose within a letter 
  • Colourful references to paint/draw from
  • Examples of finished fairies. 

 

You will also need: 

  • Art supplies suitable for drawing/colouring on paper. Such as: crayons, colouring pencils, drawing pencils and rubbers, pens, water-based paints. 
  • A valid stamp of your choice
  • An envelope (plus spares)
  • Writing paper or a card to go inside
  • An hour or so to complete the drawing and write your letter
  • A postbox to stop at or walk to

 

*Please note that this product is a digital pdf download not an in-person or online workshop*

Carol, May 2024

"I’ve had great fun practising my newly learnt skills.  All that I hoped to achieve from the workshops - a looser style, working quicker, being able to work without needing magnifying lenses - has been achieved, and more. What has emerged in me is a new attitude to my art in that I no longer worry about it being perfect but about enjoying the process of portraying what is in front of me. Emma is a gifted teacher - as well as being a very pleasant person who made the sessions so enjoyable as well as productive.

 

Here’s my first attempt, and then a couple of examples from the end of the course. What isn’t captured here is the increased enjoyment in drawing and painting I gained from those first efforts to how I feel when drawing and painting now".
