Make a fluffy lamb pen holder

Follow instructions to make and design your own Easter pen holder

This Easter primary resource gives children an opportunity to design and make springtime pen holder that looks like a lamb.

Pupils will be challenged to follow instructions to make and design their own Easter pen holder, adapting the instructions for their own creativity in our National Geographic Kids’ Easter primary resource sheet.

The teaching resource can be used as a printed handout for instruction in class time, or for display on the interactive whiteboard.

Activity: Ask children to complete the task on the page by following the instructions.
