Sheet 1 is a black and white basic room and each sheet after that adds something such as colour, decorations, pictures, slippers etc. Finally sheet 10 is the finished bedroom.

They can use fabrics, collage materials or paints/felts to decorate the room. Children could go on to write about Laura, whose bedroom this is, what can they tell about Laura just from observation?
