Each day of the week Abbey House Museum will be sharing content for families via their Facebook Page.
Mondays are all about music, taking inspiration from our exhibition Sounds of Our City that unfortunately people can’t see at the moment we thought we would bring bits of the exhibition to Facebook! We will be posting about our star objects from the exhibition including our glass piano, special characters such as Padtoeski, the performers who played 3 instruments at once including the piano with his feet! And songs from our jukebox.
Tuesdays are for toys, we will be posting videos about old and new toys (the first one went up yesterday). Putting up pictures, asking for drawings and poems inspired by the toys.
Wednesdays are all about questions, we will be asking families to send us history homework questions and we will be posting mystery objects.
Thursdays are throwback Thursdays posting old pictures from how the museum used to look.
ARTventurers at Home with Friends
It’s like a Zoom party for little people, without the quizzes and the wine!
Perfect for NCT groups, toddler groups, friendship groups and similar – whilst we all have to stay at home (and the weather is as grey and miserable as it is!), we’ll bring you all together online for a good old catch up, a giggle and some colourful creative activities and #artventurersfun together!
We can theme a special one off session for your group to whatever you like – Valentine’s proving REALLY popular right now ❤ – just email me for more info!
More than ever right now, we all need a weekly dose of fun and creativity so we have come up with a way to have our weekly ARTventurers fun with your little one from the comfort of your house.
So how will ARTventurers at Home work?
You choose either the Baby ARTventurers (6m-18m) or Little ARTventurers (18m – 4yrs) sessions during the booking process below. Then, you will receive an exciting pack containing everything you need (including
paint, glue and glitter!) for our 5 week term!
You will see my face pop up online to guide you through everything so that you and your little one can get the maximum benefit out of the activities in store and I will provide detailed instructions sheets and you can join in with our online community to share your child’s creations and get more tips! The beauty of these sessions if that you can watch my videos at any time during the week and the activities are great to get all of the family
involved – perhaps at a weekend!
We have 5 creative sessions planned for our January term including Jungle, Pirates, The Gruffalo, and Valentine’s, as well as our special showstopper we will be working on each week. Videos will begin w/c 18th January 2021.
Please note, the activities will require adult supervision at all times and all paint and glue provided is non-toxic. You will need some painting tools to complete the activities at home and our ‘My Painting Tools Pack‘ provides you with a fabulous selection of different, age-appropriate tools for your child to explore. If not, you easily pick up paintbrushes and children’s rollers from your local shops.
I can hand deliver to your doorstep in BD postcodes for a small charge of £2.50 or they can be collected from my venues for free (with us arranging a mutually convenient time for pick-up). If you live outside of BD postcodes or have any other questions about our Artventurers at home fun, please contact me on clare@artventurers.co.uk

The front door is locked, but our online doors are open and over the next few months Harewood House Trust is sharing an engaging programme of daily changing online content.
Bringing a bit of love to you..
Harewood is a charity, and as such everything we do here is for the benefit and enrichment of the public. We want to share the collections, the stories, the landscape of this museum-accredited House; plus its 50-year-old Bird Garden, licensed zoo, and 120 acres of Grade I listed gardens and grounds, even when we are closed.
We feel it’s our mission to enrich, enlighten, engage and entertain you.
From hands-on tips from the Learn team and Head Gardener, to behind the scenes with the curators and collections team, or just a moment of wellbeing, the content will be shared on the Harewood blog, on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook @harewoodhouse and on the YouTube channel.
Until the moment we can welcome visitors back to Harewood, enjoy a little bit of ‘Harewood at Home’. See the daily timetable of activities below.
Although Leeds Young Film Festival 2020 has been postponed due to Coronavirus, we want to make sure that you still have the opportunity to watch and discover new films, along with some family favourites.
We know that you are not short of content but, with so much to choose from, it can sometimes be hard to find what you want without endless scrolling or resorting to watching Frozen for the 37th time!
To help you navigate the world of online streaming we will be suggesting ten films you can watch as a family each Friday, along with where to find them. Most of the films require either a Netflix, Amazon Prime or Disney+ account but we know most households have at least one of these (and all are offering a free trial before you have to subscribe). We will also ensure that we include some free-to-watch films as well.
We know it can be a scary time at the moment but we think it is important to forget about your worries occasionally, so why not snuggle up on the sofa together and immerse yourself in a magical world for a couple of hours?
If you do decide to watch any of the films and want to write or film a short review, or draw a picture relating to the film, please send it to us at martin.grund@leeds.gov.uk. We’ll select the best ones each week and post them on the website and will give a free family ticket to Leeds Young Film Festival (when it eventually happens) to anyone whose work is published.
Please check out this week’s list here:

The Royal Armouries Museum has launched a new online resource to support parents and teachers as they battle to keep children engaged in learning at home.
Our Learning Team brings history to life for thousands of school pupils every academic year at our museums, and no global pandemic is going to stop them in their quest to educate and entertain.
Our valiant band of educators will bring history to life at home through interactive videos and downloadable resources, available through a new digital Home Learning Hub. Part of Royal Armouries From Home, a wider series of online activities, including behind the scenes stories, expert insights and treasures from the collection in close up, our education sessions bring the best of our schools workshops into the home.
A new lesson will be posted twice a week, on Sundays and Wednesdays, on both Facebook and YouTube. So far our home learners have encountered Viking warriors, Tudor knights, Romans soldiers and Greek heroes, with more exciting topics on the way – all supported by activity-packed, downloadable worksheets. royalarmouries.org/royal-armouries-from-home/
Follow on social media channels for regular videos, quizzes, activities and more!
