Challenge at Home Upcycle old clothes and use your imagination to dress up in the style of a historical period you are interested in. Does your family have any letters, diaries or photographs from the past that you can explore? What do they tell you? Do you have a family archive for later in life when someone wants to create your family tree? Write a letter to you in 20 years tie to explain what life was like during the Covid lockdown.
