Introduce pupils to the beauty of medieval manuscript art with this Medieval Illuminated Letters Art Project. This printable resource allows children to create their own illuminated letter inspired by the richly decorated initials found in medieval books and manuscripts.

The resource includes an extensive collection of 104 illuminated letter templates, with four unique designs for every letter of the alphabet. Templates range from simple to more intricate designs, making this activity suitable for a variety of ages and abilities.

Students can personalise their letters using colouring pencils, felt-tip pens, watercolours, metallic pens, or paint markers to create colourful medieval-inspired artwork.
