I saw these totem poles and thought what a wonderful idea for a creative outdoor activity, they are painted logs stacked on a metal pole. 
A great way to liven up a garden!

Wild worlds
BBOWT (Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire wildlife trust) staff had fun today making worlds for wild imaginary creatures. Whole eco-systems complete with prey and predators were created with fantastic stories to go with them.

Marram Grass Man
Edward made this marram grass man while sitting in the dunes at a Norfolk beach last weekend; what creatures can you create by weaving grasses?
Funny faces!
Aston Rowant Nature Reserve hosted “Go Wild in the Chilterns” on Saturday the 4th August, a lovely outdoor event for families. Going Wild was there making clay and stick creatures including funny faces – not that we could compete with Dan Barton’s wonderful giant wicker man!
