There are loads of things to do online for families at the moment. We’ve had a lot of fun putting together a list of some of our favourites you can enjoy as a family – no matter what age you are.
Harry Potter
Love Harry Potter? Love an Escape Room? Well, you will love this virtual Harry Potter escape room from the amazing Ms Sydney at Peters Township Public Library in Pennsylvania
If that wasn’t enough Harry Potter fun, then how about ‘Harry Potter from home’ from the official Wizarding World website. There’s so much to do, but our favourite is finding out our Hogwarts House (fun fact – many library staff are Ravenclaws, famed for our wit, learning and wisdom).
Disney
If you love a bit of Disney and always wanted to be a Disney Imagineer, then this amazing online tool lets you create and build from home
Love to draw? Want to learn from an expert? Then head over to the Disney Parks – How to Draw Series where Heather Worley from Animation Academy at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will show you how to draw Stitch, Winnie the Pooh, Anna, Minnie Mouse, and many more
