CHILDREN are being offered a range of activities to keep them entertained during the school half-term.

Sessions are being held in Darlington Art's Centre.

Children can take part in different arts and crafts events from Tuesday to Friday, May 27 to 30.

On the Tuesday, youngsters of all ages can make a pastel portrait of their pet, and on Wednesday they can make paperweights and a pet dragon.

On Thursday there is a chance for younger children to make rubber stamps and photo puppets, while older children can create fantasy holiday photos and learn how to design their own T-shirts. On Friday there will be a ceramics workshop.

All events cost £5.

Dance workshops are being held for children aged 12 and above.
