Are you a parent struggling to keep your kids entertained while juggling work, homeschooling, or just trying to gather your thoughts? You’re not alone! The ongoing quarantine can feel tedious for both children and adults. Thankfully, some creative minds are stepping up to help ease the burden. Among them is Dav Pilkey, the beloved author and illustrator of “Captain Underpants,” who is set to host virtual drawing classes and read-aloud sessions for children.
In collaboration with The Library of Congress, Pilkey will launch a series of weekly videos aimed at inspiring young artists and readers. Starting April 1, these engaging videos will be available for free on the Library’s website and social media platforms, featuring everything from drawing tutorials to live readings from Pilkey’s popular “Dog Man” and “Captain Underpants” series. The content is designed for kids, but adults are more than welcome to join in the fun and try their hand at sketching Pilkey’s iconic characters.
Fridays will bring new content, with videos dropping at 8:00 AM starting April 3. Don’t worry if you’re in a different time zone; all material will be accessible at any time. Alongside the videos, Pilkey’s website will host various downloadable resources and activities, similar to what’s offered by Scholastic.
Pilkey isn’t the only one contributing to children’s entertainment during these challenging times. Renowned author Mo Wiggins, known for his “Pigeon” series, is also hosting weekly drawing sessions for his fans. “I know many of you are home right now because of everything that’s happening,” Wiggins shared in his announcement. “So for the next few weeks, I’ll be drawing with you, and sharing some insights about my studio.”
With such creative outlets available, parents can breathe a sigh of relief knowing their kids have exciting and educational activities to engage with during isolation. We’re excited to see how these videos can spark creativity and provide moments of joy for families.
