Make & Do

Neolithic Craft

Step back in time and create your own Neolithic bowl!

You will need:

  • A balloon
  • An empty bowl
  • Scrap paper
  • PVA glue
  • A paintbrush

Instructions:

1. Tear some paper into small pieces and set aside.

2. Inflate your balloon and place it in the empty bowl. This will keep it steady whilst you work!

3. Using the paintbrush, apply PVA glue to the torn paper and start applying it to the balloon. Leave some gaps in between, but ensure they are connected in places. This is to keep the bowl in one piece.

4. Once you have finished applying the paper, leave your artwork to dry overnight.

5. When it is dry, pop the balloon and remove it. Your unique archaeological discovery is complete!
