Today the local food bank had a viking day. Lil man said he wanted to go dressed up. Now if you have followed my blog you will remember how I made a Viking Tunic from a bath mat for world book day for middle son and also a viking shield.
So we were half way there for today. I had hoped to use the knights helmet altered to make a viking helemt BUT we couldn't find it anywhere. So I looked on pinterest and found this hat that can be made from cardboard and duck tape......cue my next problem the recycling was taken by hubby first thing this morning and I have no silver duck tape! Ok not a problem, I sent the boys upstairs for the army hat, I started to cover it in white gaffa tape and then it came to me - tin foil!!!
This was my next yell at the kids, find me tin foil and sellotape. They found them and gave them to me. I covered the hat with tin foil and held in in place on the inside with selloptape. From here I managed to find a small box that I could cut horn shapes out of and I covered them in white gaffa tape and stuck to the sides.
From start finish was about 10minutes in making time, just before we charged out of the door!
Here is lil man as a viking:

They had a really nice afternoon, it was very informative and they enjoyed being able to touch and look at things that the vikings would have had. Thank you North Lakes Food Bank, Cumbria for hosting this event.
