1. TRADITIONMake your own crown jewels.
Resource produced by Sarah Brown, Children’s Advisor, Diocese of Derby
Depending on available time and resources you could make many different kinds of crowns with the children.www.bakerross.co.uk and other on line craft stores will sell specially prepared cut out shapes, but good effects can also be achieved simply with newspaper and coloured paper.

This is what the “British Monarchy” web site says about the orb and two sceptres…
The Sovereign’s Orb, representing Christ’s dominion over the world; and the two sceptres, The Sovereign’s Sceptre with cross, now set with the First Star of Africa, representing the monarch’s temporal power under God and the Sceptre with Dove, representing equity and mercy.
There are several ways to create your own, based on time and cost. If you are able to buy a large pack of plasic balls (as sold for ball pools) and spray gold in advance that should work well, or if not a grapefruit or even an orange would work.Use pins to fix a ribbon around the “equator” and over the top.Then use two half thin lolly sticks and glue them together to make a cross. Tape a cocktail stick to the back and use little plastic gems to decorate.For the sceptre use three 70cm plastic straws .
