Fancy trying a 150-year-old craft activity? The Victorians loved decorating 'penny plains' - souvenir images of famous actors or heroes. Try it yourself using felt tips & colouring pencils or embellishments like sequins & glitter! bit.ly/2Zsqn81 #MuseumofFundon

We’ve been sent a number of virtual museum activities for under 5s so we thought we’d round them up in a Twitter thread.
Have you got an activity to share? Let us know and we’ll add it to the thread. @EYMuseumNetwork
