For all the Harry Potter fans out there J.K. Rowling, author of the series has launched Harry Potter At Home for socially isolating wizards and muggles alike. But you probably already knew that, right?!

If your kids are interested in magic then take a look at Magic Tricks For Kids. Lotsa cool tricks for kids to play with. Woot!

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!

Perhaps you’ve seen a book called Magic For Dummies. One of a gazillion yellow softcover titles in the ‘Dummies’ family. MFD was written by David Pogue who’s better known as a tech writer and broadcaster.

It’s a pretty good magic book (despite the title!) and Mr. Pogue’s interest in magic is long standing. In fact, he appears on the cover of the wonderful early 1970s Magic Digest by George Anderson (no relation)…

Mr. Pogue’s Making Stuff series from PBS is available for families to explore. Many aspects of STEM are covered. Great stuff if your kids are a bit older.
Just a heads up during this time of self isolation…
