Colour in Dur PigJack loves his toy, Dur Pig. DP has always been there for him, through good and bad.

Until one Christmas Eve, something terrible happens – DP is lost.

Colour in your very own Dur Pig!

The Land of the Lost MazeQuick! Help Jack and the Christmas Pig escape the Land of the Lost!Draw an escape route from the top of the maze to the exit.

START HERE

WELL DONE, YOU MADE IT!

1. Ask an adult to help you cut out the angel wing stencil below. You can use these as your wings or, if you have a sheet of card, draw around the stencil and cut the wings out of the card instead.

2. Leaving a strip down the middle clear, put glue on your angel wings (in any pattern you like!) and add your glitter! Leave this to the side to dry.

3. It’s time to decorate your toilet roll as your angel’s body! Use your paint and colouring pens to design your angel. Make sure to draw on a face. Set aside to dry.

4. Once your paint has dried, use your glue to stick your wool to the angel’s head as hair and a beard. Add any extra decorations you would like to.

5. Put glue on the strip of wings you left without glitter and stick them to the back of your toilet roll. You may need to lie the angel down while the glue dries.

6. Once the glue has dried put on top of your Christmas tree!

Make your own Toilet Roll Angel‘When Mum took out the box of Christmas decorations that year, she showed Brendan the angel that had

always sat on top of their family tree. Jack had made it when he was in nursery school. The angel’s body was a toilet roll, its wings were made of card with glitter glued on, and it had a beard of brown wool.’ P.38

YOU WILL NEED:• One toilet roll• Biodegradeable glitter (any colour)• Glue• Scissors

• Woollen yarn or cotton wool• Coloured pens• Paint and brushes• Extra: One sheet of card (any colour)

What do you Hope for this Christmas?‘You know what night it is, don’t you?’

‘Christmas Eve,’ said Jack.‘Exactly,’ said the Christmas Pig. ‘And that means there’s a chance – just for one night – we couldn’t

do it at any other time – that we can get your Pig back.’

Christmas is a magical time for coming together with family and friends. Can you write a list of what you hope for and why it will make this

Christmas special? It can be people you’re excited to see, what you’re most looking forward to, or even presents you are giving or hoping to receive!

This Christmas, I am hoping…
