Clothesline Craft
Do you hang your laundry outside?
It’s only while I was writing up this craft that I discovered that in some areas people aren’t allowed to which was a big shock to me.
Being British I think there’s a point in the year that people get genuinely quite excited about the thought of being able to hang their washing out, it means that we finally have some decent weather and we don’t have to keep spending so much money on using a tumble dryer.
Using a clothesline is so much better both for the environment and for your clothes too!
This clothesline craft has two different designs for you to choose from. The first has a little more detail such as a picture of a sun on the t-shirt and a bow on the dress while the second page has less detail so that your child can add their own designs if they would like.
