Some lovely Easter craft ideas

Easter weekend is almost here and with the sun in the sky and 4 days off work, it’s a perfect time to get crafy with the kids! There are some great Easter resources available online and I could quite happily while away the hours looking at all the lovely things there are to make and do. To save you some time, I have selected a couple of my favourite Easter craft tutorials, from Easter bunny bunting to leaf print eggs.

Rockfords Rock Opera

If you have never seen this, now is the time to have a look!  Brilliant!  Loads of support for teachers, with lesson plans, activities and things to do.  There is so much here so you do need to take some time to have a good look around – well worth it!  You will be drawn in…………

Free App for the iPhone and iPad is also available, with one for the Android coming soon.  Who could ask for more?

Far away in the Sea of Tranquillity lies the Island of Infinity, home to the last one of every extinct species.  Infinity has a secret for the world but Moog, a boy from Battersea in London, and Rockford his dog, are the only one who can deliver its message. Travelling to Infinity Moog and Rockford get drawn into an adventure in sound that threatens the entire human race.  Crucially, the Rockford’s Rock Opera website contains loads of information about the threats currently faced by creatures and plants across the world together with lesson plans and resources, plus information about organisations that are trying to make a difference.

Cue Prompter

A brilliant online cue prompter to support literacy and drama – well worth having a look at!
