Everyone at PCiP - Promoting Children in Plymouth has been deeply saddened by the devastating news of the loss of the amazing Dolly Parton.

We are immensely proud to have partnered with the Dolly Parton's Imagination Library UK to bring the Imagination Library to Plymouth, and we remain committed to signing up as many children as possible so they too can experience the joy and lifelong love of reading that the programme inspires.

What a fabulous morning at St Budeaux Library with PCiP and DPIL!

🌘Not got any eclipse glasses? No problem! You just need a cereal box, scissors and some foil! 🌖

I've just tried making it and it was really easy! We're now paining and decorating it for added fun!

☀️ No solar eclipse glasses? No problem! You can still watch the eclipse safely with your family without risking eye damage—using items you already have at home.

We made a DIY Pinhole Box Projector in just a couple of minutes! 📦✨

✂️ What you need:

Cardboard box (a cereal box works great!)

Aluminum foil

Scissors

Pin or needle

Tape

White paper (if the inside of the box isn't white)

🔨 How to make it:

The Screen: Tape white paper to the inside bottom of the box.

The Openings: Cut two small square holes at the top of the box (one on each side).

The Lens: Cover ONE hole with aluminum foil and tape it down. Poke a tiny pinhole in the center of the foil. Leave the second hole open for viewing.

👁️ How to view:
Stand with the sun directly behind you. Look through the open hole—you’ll see the light pass through the pinhole and project a sharp image of the eclipse onto the white paper inside!

Quick, fun, and 100% eye-safe for the kids. 🌑✨
