Royal Ascot starts today, and the papers and television will be full of photos of fancy hats - especially on Thursday, which is "Ladies Day", when traditionally the hats go big!
I've pulled together some ideas and created some new activities with that in mind:
- Royal Ascot is all about the horses. Explore our Horses topic
- Here's a fun "decorate the hats" activity
- Colour in the hats!
- Younger children might enjoy this top hat lacing card
- Here's a top hat image for display, or to use as a photo prop ...
- ... and a fancy hat ...
- ... and another fancy hat!
- Encourage creative writing with two story prompts, "The Top Hat Time Machine" and "The Last-Minute Ascot Hat" (for older kids)
- There's always a royal or two at Royal Ascot! Why not explore our British Royal Family topic, too?
