Clothes Hanger Homes

Homes in the shape of a clothes hanger !!


Use the basic outline of a top & bottoms hanger to create a variety of homes.

Cover the whole hanger with clear plastic food wrap & collage on - use pva glue which will become transparent once dried, sticky tape or stick glue.
OR
Stick the Hanger frame to a sheet of sticky back plastic and let the younger children create their own art using the 'sticky side to keep their work in place

Good collage things for the smallest hands ~ sand - peat - rolled oats - tissue paper pieces and leaves !
Drop, spread, smear and decorate with sprinkled glitter and sequins

The hangers outline can be used and adapted to make ...

A detatched house .. depending on your resources .. semi & terraced houses.
Bungalow
Block of flats or appartments
Horse drawn caravan ~ add wheels to the bottom.
Canal barge - See The Waterways Trust website for some great information and planning ideas.
Canvas Tents
Libraries & Museums .. a bit diverse maybe !!?
Castles & Regal homes.
Buildings & Coverings
Garden Shed ~ Carnival Marquee ~ Circus Big Top ~ Garages
Igloo - adapt the shape by building 'outwards !

Use scissors and hands to rip Brick and Block shapes, wooden planks and sheets of 'plywood ~ look at what some homes may need to stand on to stay safe, depending where they are ~ on water, soil, rock, shale, ice, .. or maybe the air :idea:

Have fun & please keep adding ideas ...
