MAKE a volcano or even a solar system to banish boredom this half term.

Hobbycraft, at Westgate Park, Basildon, is hosting an Ideas Station with plenty of craft ideas to keep the kids busy during the school holidays - all for under £5.

Staff are on hand to help with any creative school projects children have to complete and to help with making World Book Day costumes in preparation for the event on March 2.

Store manager Dejan Byrne said: “With some great deals in store that won’t break the bank, there are no excuses for boredom this half term.

“Pop in store for hundreds of ideas and get creative with the kids.”
