They don't call Disney the happiest place on Earth for nothing, but because of the coronavirus pandemic, parks all over the world are closed for the foreseeable future.

Now, while Disney+ can definitely keep you entertained for more than a few hours, if you're looking to learn something new while indulging your Disney obsession, you're in luck because Disney is offering free drawing lessons from its animators so that you can learn how to sketch your favorite princesses (and a whole lot more to boot!).

This Canadian kid's response to the Disneyland closure is iconic:

Simply head on over to YouTube and indulge yourself in the Disney Parks how to draw series. It features most of the iconic characters that we've come to know and love over the years, and all you need to participate is a pencil and paper! It couldn't be easier.

There are 42 videos in total, and they range in length from a few minutes long to anything over 20 minutes. Perfect if you simply want to do something productive on your lunch break, or chill with something fun before bed.

Because the videos are so easy to follow, they're also a fantastic resource if you've got young children at home right now. They'll help keep them distracted while you get on with grown-up things, and give them a sense of accomplishment at having learned something new while their school is closed.

But if Disney+ and this drawing series just isn't enough to keep your little monsters (I mean, angels!) wholly entertained during the lockdown, then you could always take them on a virtual trip of the parks while they're closed and go on 360° POV rides of Disney attractions.

On, and while we are on the subject of Disney, the reunion of the decade is about to happen as the original High School Musical cast are reuniting for a TV special!
