The
EU, European Union's flag as a themed playdough activity.
On sheets of azure blue backgrounds, build circles of 12 yellow stars that
celebrate the unity of different countries working together to make life
and trade better in the UK.
Explore the diversity of cultures that you're familiar with and
share those experiences with children, looking at how not all countries in
Europe are members of the European Union and why that might be - joining the EU. Raise awareness through your
doughy activities of what British Values are, country names, the flags
that represent them and to open conversation about children's own holiday
destinations, where friends and family live, the traditions and festivals
of other countries.
