👀 spy with my little 👁.... some geometric shapes hidden in the real world.
Wherever you are, shapes are everywhere! What can you spot when you look out of the window? Draw the shapes you see, remix them into something new. What can you create?fal.cn/3jKq0

The redesign of @GNM_Hancock permanent under 5s ‘Mouse House’ is the largest creative project I’ve been involved with. Surreal to see text once scribbled in my notebook displayed on the walls. Now reopen to the public, I hope under 5s approve of the makeover & enjoy exploring!

Hats off to this extremely correct answer to the question:
‘Where are we?’
asked in our 200th birthday exhibition, which is, absolutely, in a museum in Leeds.

For this week's MOC Doodle Challenge we are exploring the 'Juicy Salif' by Philippe Starck. Could you re-imagine Stark's design? 🍋
Use collage or drawing to transform the design into something from your imagination- a spider, a treehouse, or a monster! #MocPicks

We've been really pleased to see museums taking strides to become more SEND-Inclusive, but as a sector we still have a lot to learn.
Join @makedoandSEND for 'Developing SEND-Inclusive Learning with Confidence', starting 30 Sept, to improve your practice.

Many of the children I worked with today had never been in a museum before. When I told them the skills they had learnt by looking at displays and understanding them could be used in any museum in the world, they were gobsmacked.
Little museums can make a BIG difference #museum
