Something for the kids…

In recent times, we have been developing some activity sheets for children to keep them entertained if their parents are visiting Dorset History Centre. Given the current COVID-19 situation, we hope parents are able to use them at home to inspire or entertain their children! The sheets are available as PDF documents or you can copy the images below!

Map of Dorset by John Speed, 1660. M.162/3 [Tip: You can press”Ctrl and +” or “Ctrl and -” on your keyboard, or pinch and zoom on a tablet or phone to zoom in and out to hunt for details!]
