Writing in blood
A gruesome activity, but quite a good way to decorate dens, and practice writing too. Ok it is not really blood, but red ink. But you do get to make your own quill. Arrr.
You will need:
- Brown or old looking paper
- A nice feather
- A sharp knife
- Red writing ink bottle
A feather
Find a pretty feather and get a grown up to cut it into a quill with a sharp knife.
How to cut a quill

See, just red ink!
Open your red ink and have plenty of tissue on hand to blot the mess with. Dip your quill into the ink and start writing your blood-thirsty letter.
Writing with a quill is a little tricky at first
Additional ideas; hold to ransom your brother’s teddy, draw a treasure map, make a list of demands for a yummy breakfast and smuggle it into your parent’s bedroom. Write a list of rules for your tree house, or draw a keep out sign for your den.
