Turn back the clock and send a parcel to dad during the war.
Poppy.gif (796 bytes)    Find out what a soldier had as part of his kit and what his meals consisted of. Read about the types of things that families would send to their soldiers during the war. Using what you have learnt, make a list of what you could include in a parcel for Dad.
Poppy.gif (796 bytes)    You could put this 'parcel' together  in a variety of ways, here is one suggestion:
Make a flat parcel. This is like a big card. On the front is what the wrapped parcel would look like, complete with address, stamp and probably tied with string. Inside the card could be  a note to dad on one side and on the facing page pictures of what you would include in the parcel. You could even finish it off by putting a return address on the back! This is just an idea, add your own creative thinking to come up with something unique! Remember that this parcel would have been sent over 50 years ago ... try to make it realistic.
