Who doesn’t love a bit of colouring in?! This resource contains 7 original hand drawn houses inspired by the colourful houses on the island of Burano. If you’re after a wall display for your classroom, you can get your students to cut out their houses and then stick them up in a row to make a piece of collective artwork - teamwork makes the dream work, right?! I instantly fell in love with the island of Burano on my whistle-stop trip there last year. I loved how despite being a seemingly random array of colours and a little wonky, everything just looked so in place. Perfectly imperfect. I’m super excited to create more classroom resources inspired by my travels! Here’s what I’ve created so far - hope you find something that takes your fancy!
