Here's a selection of fun activities for you and your family...
 Egg-citing crafts
Have a look at these cool DIY egg carton crafts for children. There are animal crafts, bird feeders and a draught board for you to try your hand at. Egg cartons cut easily and take spray paint, paint pens, markers, and acrylics really well.
 Indoor Activities from Change4Life
It can be difficult to get children up and about at the best of times, especially if you are all at home, but Change4Life have loads of great indoor children's activities and games for them to play.
 Hans on COVID
The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) has teamed up with the illustrator of the Gruffalo to launch an extensive range of free digital COVID19 educational resources for children.
The ‘Hans on COVID’ campaign is headed up by scientists at LSHTM and fronted by a new cartoon character called Hans. Hans will be giving parents and teachers a helping hand and handy tips to engage children in public health science in the weeks and months ahead.
 Make simple houmous
Try this Jamie Oliver recipe for a healthy and tasty snack for everyone. It does not require many ingredients and after you have made it once, you'll want to make it again and again.
This classic houmous recipe is a simple blend of chickpeas and tahini (sesame seed paste).
 “Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.”
