About it

We bake birthday cakes for birthdays. A birthday cake can be big or small, it can be any colour, and it can have a picture on it, of a flower, or an animal, or something else. Birthday cakes are better when they are colourful and delicious. Birthday cakes have a name written on them.
 

Your task

Draw a nice colourful birthday cake for you. What will your birthday cake have? What flavour will it be? Make your birthday cake using coloured paper and card. See how it looks.
 

Do it step-by-step

To design is to make something new, just as we want it to be. We design step-by-step. The first step is to LEARN. We want to know more about the thing that we are designing. So, we learn about it. The next step is to DRAW. We draw it just as we want it to be. Drawing is designing. The last step is to MAKE. We make it just as we want it to be. When it is made, we can finally see it!
