Keep Kids Entertained At Home With Queen Elizabeth’s Craft Activities

Enjoy a little crafting time, thanks to the British Royal Family

The Queen is many things: A born leader, an engaging public speaker, not to mention a talented horse rider to boot. But there’s something we didn’t know about Her Majesty – and it’s all to do with arts and crafts.

While the Queen safely hunkers down in Windsor Castle during the COVID-19 health pandemic, which has seen her entire country go into a lockdown, it seems she’s been keeping herself busy by coming up with some fun ideas for people to try their hand at during these isolating times.

First up, the Queen has put her focus on children, many of whom will be feeling a little out of their depth as they adapt to home schooling after their schools were also placed in lockdown:

Crafty Initiatives

Taking to the official Royal Family Twitter account on Monday, a brand new initiative for children was announced.

“Every Monday, we’ll be sharing fun activities and learning resources for your children to enjoy at home,” the tweet stated.

For the first week of the new, unprecedented initiative, the challenge was to design your own Investiture medal.

The Royal Collection Trust also created a special worksheet for children to use whilst making their own masterpieces.

Every Monday, we’ll be sharing fun activities and learning resources for your children to enjoy at home. ??

Today, why not design your own #Investiture medal? Download @RCT’s worksheet here: https://t.co/hK5kpsnA9I pic.twitter.com/TJTdUA54Jr

A Learning Experience

The tweet also outlined some fun facts for children to learn more about Investitures – something the Queen is heavily involved with by presenting them to various recipients throughout the year.

“Medals are given by The Queen or other members of The Royal Family to people for: Special achievements, Bravery, Services to the United Kingdom,” the caption read.

They then put the question to the public – who would your medal be for? – before inviting people to share their designs with them on Twitter.

It actually sounds pretty fun – perhaps an afternoon activity? You can download the worksheet here.

It won’t be hard to get the necessary decorative materials either during Singapore’s own circuit breaker measures from April 7 to May 4. That’s because Shopee has plenty of stationary kits, craft supplies and other art and crafts offerings for your child to complete these Craft Monday activities.

Life on Lockdown

The royals are navigating their way through this unsettling period admirably – recently, Duchess Catherine and Prince William shared images of their own working-from-home set-up at Kensington Palace, while raising awareness for mental health.

The Duke and Duchess featured in the pictures speaking on the phone to several mental health charities who are supporting people who might be struggling during this time of isolation and lockdowns.

And it looks like there will be plenty more where that came from – along with the Queen’s arty initiative for children, we’ve no doubt the royals will continue to promote and highlight causes that will help people young and old get through the circuit breaker period.

Go virtual

Being stuck at home doesn’t mean you can’t explore the world. Go on virtual field trips around the planet’s most iconic places or venture to outer space and explore Mars via the Curiosity Rover.

Curious what the animals around the world are up to while waiting out this pandemic? Tune in to the Chester Zoo‘s safari broadcast. Or try flipping between the live cams of a few different animals at the San Diego Zoo.

You can even visit the magic kingdom of Disney’s Orlando resort even though the parks are closed to the public at this time. Woohoo!
