Draw a line in the sand: February half term activities

Discover desert habitats in our free family friendly creative activities.
From sand dunes to desertscapes, explore how wildlife and plants have adapted to thrive in some of the hottest, driest environments on Earth.
Inspired by desert animals, such as kangaroos and rattlesnakes, create your own wearable animal masks. Decorate your creations using hand-rubbed textures from our texture blocks and colourful collage materials.
Be inspired by artworks in Tate’s collection including Vita Celmins's Desert, Lee Miller's Untitled (Bleached Snail Shells), Western Desert, Egypt, Sir Sidney Nolan's Inland Australia, Emily Kam Kngwarray's Untitled (Alhalker) and David Shrigley's Carrots.
Our Learning Space is open every day for visiting families - a space to relax and create with art games, colouring-in, books, toys and more!
