Museum of Me - Think about why we collect and preserve objects, and take a closer in your own home. The artefacts we choose to surround ourselves with in everyday life, and particularly those we treasure have meaning for us. What do the things we collect say about us? Gather your own Me in Five Objects
collection. Try to find just five things that speak about your passions, background and personality. Set up a little Museum of Me exhibit and share with your friends and family.
The Shoebox Museum - Try to make your own mini museum! The simplest way to set your museum is with a large shoe box. Set up items throughout the box to display, this gives a play space for small characters - you can even join several boxes together.
Lego McDougall Cottage - Create your version of the Cottage in lego! If you are feeling like a Victorian builder try to build a mini version of the Cottage out of stones. Be sure to share your finished building with us on social media.
