Online Magic Show! — Stuff to do #9

While I decide if I’m going to ‘socially isolate’ or ‘socially distance’ today here’s another family friendly event for the housebound hoards…

Greg Frewin and friends are back for a 2nd live stream magic show tomorrow evening, April 15/20, at 7:00 pm Eastern. Looks like a magic great line-up including some Las Vegas regulars!

Again free with any donated proceeds to benefit the Niagara SPCA.

Frewin’s production is a YouTube live stream thingy. Click below on Wednesday night although you may need to click thru to YT proper to see it. No biggie, I hope.

Wacky Colouring Pages — Stuff to do #7

I’m a regular visitor to a groovy aggregator site called Kottke.org, (Home of Fine Hypertext Products!), lotsa fascinating links updated almost daily.

A recent post featured some far-out (am I still allowed to use that expression, far-out?) printable colouring sheets for kids and, I suppose, these days, adults too. All drawn by a generous chap named Mackenzie Child.

Here’s the link to his Colorable.es website. Enjoy!

Library Activities List — Stuff to do #6

Many of my magic shows, especially in the summer, are for library systems so I follow a lot of libraries on my socials. The Burlington Public Library has compiled a wonderful and extensive list of activities: storytimes, online museums, popular kid author websites, and curriculum based links. All vetted by their Children’s Services staff. Great range of activities for the whole family. Worth a look.
