My Visit to London Transport Museum
Get wheel-y creative!
Get wheel-y creative with the whole family at London Transport Museum!
Print off a My Visit to London Transport Museum family trail sheet (you can download it below) to bring with you to the Museum.
This family trail will help you and your family discover, learn and engage with key items in our collection, as well as helping guide you through the different galleries.
The activity sheet consists of eight unique STEAM-focused tasks, designed to develop core skills such as observation, counting, measuring and recognising shapes and patterns.
Once you’ve finished your activity sheet, follow the instructions below to create an origami book - a personal souvenir to take home and use to remember your visit.
Instructions
You will need:
- Your activity sheet
- A pair of scissors
- An adult to help out!
Step 1
Place the activity sheet, printed side face down, in a landscape position. Fold the sheet in half (left edge to right edge), then open it back out.
Step 2
Fold both the left and right edges of the sheet in so that they meet in the centre, then open this fold back out.
Step 3
Your sheet now has 4 vertical sections.
Step 4
Fold the top edge of the sheet to the bottom edge, then open back out.
Step 5
Your sheet now has 8 sections.
Step 6
Fold the sheet in half again (left edge to right edge). On the sheet, cut along the central solid line up to the dotted line. Cut along the solid line only, do not cut along the dotted line.
Step 7
Open the sheet out. Make sure that the printed side is still face down. Your sheet now has a slot in the centre.
Step 8
Fold the top edge of the sheet to the bottom edge.
Step 9
Pick up the folded sheet and gently push the left and right edges towards the centre. A cube shape will form in the centre of the sheet.
Step 10
Continue pushing the edges towards the centre of the sheet until the paper forms a ‘X’ shape. This step creates the pages of your book.
Step 11
Fold the front page (Titled ‘My Visit to London Transport Museum’) and the back page (Depicting the Routemaster Bus) around the other pages to form a book. Press the spine and edges in place to secure the book structure.
Step 12
Congratulations! You have now finished making your My Visit to London Transport Museum origami book.
