Easter is almost upon us. We’ve been home schooling for what feels like an eternity and we need a few SIMPLE crafts for the kids that don’t involve drafting in the A-Team. Here are 5 simple but effective Easter ideas…

1. Paper Handprint Bunnies

These handprint bunnies from One Little Project At A Time are so simple to make

2. Toilet Roll Easter Chicks

These Easter chicks are super simple especially if you’ve been hoarding toilet rolls during lockdown.

3. Easy Easter Egg Decoration

Very easy to do and who doesn’t love a unicorn?!

4. Very Simple Easter Card

These cute little Easter egg cards are a doddle to make. Hurrah!

5. Plastic Bottle Easter Basket

Whilst we’re all trying to go plastic free, if you do happen to have a bottle lying around before the recycling is taken away, then these are really easy to do and loook great

#WEWILLDRAW DAILY ART CHALLENGE WITH WILL SLINEY

KidsOffSchool — Mon, 23 Mar 2020 03:29:37 +0000

As an artist for Marvel’s Star Wars and Spiderman, it’s safe to say Will Sliney knows a thing or two about drawing. It was music to our ears therefore to hear him announce on Twitter that he was going to set a daily art challenge. Hurrah!

Lots of kids are stuck at home in Ireland now. I have an idea. I’m going to set an art challenge each day and I’d love to see the drawings that people do. I’ll share them all at the end of each day
Good idea? pic.twitter.com/GGVxWeu7sQ

As expected, the response has been massive with literally thousands of children joining in.

Over 1500 drawings of @starwars all drawn TODAY! by kids in Ireland who are being kept indoors from the virus. #wewilldraw
This is incredible. Thank you all for brightening up our day.
