Just pick up some jumbo chalks and let the multi-coloured fun begin. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up You can get a pack of chunky ones from The Works for £2 to make amazing artworks on paths, paving and patios. They can also be used for drawing games to play with family and friends. TARGET PRACTICE: Use various colours of chalk to draw a huge circle, and then smaller circles inside. Colour in a bullseye in the middle. Give each ring between circles a points score, saving the highest mark for the middle. Get players to take turns tossing in three bean bags or small stones and then add up their score. HOP TO IT: Turn a garden path into an obstacle course. Use chalk to draw a series of squares or circles, each with a task. One could say, 'Hop forward three spaces,' or 'Do five star jumps' or 'Spin three times'. Kids can throw a beanbag or stone and do whatever it says on the landing space. MAKE A MURAL: Use a patio or flat area of paving big enough to fit the bodies of your family or group of friends. Get each person to lie down on the ground and draw around their bodies with chalk. Once you've traced them, add details to the outlines, drawing everyone's hair, clothes and faces. I save £2,500 every summer by planning kids' activities in JANUARY... here's how you can too Add their favourite things or speech bubbles for a bit of fun. Don't forget to take a picture before the mural gets worn away. PICTURE PERFECT: Youngsters will love creating pictures, such as flowers and rainbows, deep-sea scenes or an outer space picture. Set them a theme to unleash their ideas. Older ones can recreate a photo or picture using chalk. A great tip is to print out the picture and then draw a grid over the top. Create a scaled-up grid on paving or a patio. Refer back to your photo and draw what you see in each square. Square by square the pavement picture will take shape.

Calgary Zoo otter pup dies suddenly while playing with littermate
The Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo has announced the death of an otter pup. Three-month-old North American river otter Remi died on Tuesday while in the pool. The zoo says Remi was playing in the water with littermate Howe, but failed to resurface. A necropsy determined the otter pup suffered a life-ending cervical spinal cord injury during play. 'We believe her passing was swift and she did not suffer,' the zoo said in a Wednesday social media post. 'While the test results confirm it was a tragic accident, they offer little comfort in a time of such deep sorrow.' Though Remi's time at the zoo was brief, officials say she left a lasting impression, and will be fondly remembered for her 'playful, curious nature' and her 'tender moments' with Howe and her mom Kate. 'We are leaning on one another as we mourn this heartbreaking loss and honour the short but meaningful life of a truly special little otter.'
