Here's a selection of fun activities and helpful information for you and your family...
 Objects and Stories at the Science Museum
Explore their collection beyond the museum floor and find out the fascinating histories behind even the smallest objects. Objects and Stories aims to give you better access to this world-class museum through their ever-expanding digital resources.
 Quick homemade snack ideas from Change4Life
DIY snacks can be healthier and often cheaper than packaged ones. Preparing them with the kids can also be lots of fun and a great activity to do together. Your children will love these great snack ideas so why not give them a try today!
 Get lost in a topsy-turvy world
See Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumbria like you've never seen it before! As part of their Rising Stars partnership, the team there has been working with students studying a Masters in Animation at Northumbria University, to create short animations inspired by the Delaval family's sense of fun and mischief. Can you make a topsy-turvy world too?
 Milk container bird feeder
Instead of throwing your used milk containers away, make productive use of them by shaping them into something unique. If you have a host of birds flocking in your garden or you want to have some come to your balcony, then create some enticing bird feeders.
 “The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”
