At-home learning #23

Easter concert
Famed tenor Andrea Bocelli will do a live streaming Easter concert on his YouTube channel. 1:00 PM Sunday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huTUOek4LgU&feature=youtu.be

Make something
Here's a collection of little projects that can amuse you, and you might even learn something!
  • Fill your windows with paper flower cut-outs. If you're not crafty, Google "flower cut-outs" for printable images.
  • On the other hand, if you are crafty, 3D paper flowers might be fun. Again, Google is your friend for lots of instructions; search "paper flowers." While you have Google open, check out "paper cutting" for another direction to go.
  • Bake something new. 
  • Harvest the shoots on your house plants and pot them up for new plants.
  • Find some twigs with fat buds and put them in a vase with water for spring indoors.
  • Write a letter to a long-lost friend. Or send some cards to a nearby nursing home for distribution.
  • Try hand-lettering, using guides available at https://awesomealice.com/hand-lettering-practice-sheets
  • Make a banner to celebrate spring. https://abeautifulmess.com/2011/10/10-ways-to-make-a-garland.html
  • Most of us are tired of winter, but if you miss it (a little bit), make paper snowflakes. Martha shows you how: https://www.marthastewart.com/266694/decorating-with-paper-snowflakes
