How to: keep kids amused with monsters and aliens

morris-small.jpgEaster is upon us and that means disgruntled urchins hanging about the house peering out at the inevitable holiday rain and whining "I'm booooooooooored!" What to do with them when you can't release them into the wild to chase pigeons in parks or poke about in ponds for frog spawn? Children's book illustrator and cupcake scribbling Sarah MacIntyre has just the solution. Turn your tiny one into an illustrator.

Enter Sarah's website for a rocket ride into the crafty world of creating aliens, monsters, mini comics and rocket rides.

On the monster side of things get icky with Morris the Manky Monster, the lovable but oh so disgusting creature. You can make your own monster, let the world know just how yuck your creation is, decide just what lurks in a monster's food cupboard and go wild with a whole load of monster activities.

On the alien side of things you dream up your own alien, draw your own spaceship and embark on drawing your own mini comic adventure. All inspired by the "You Can't Eat a Princess" book.

Learning the craft of illustration from a real illustrator should keep them amused and crafty even when the chocolate eggs run out.
