Get ready for Eurovision 2019 with toucanBox
Downloadable scorecard & fun facts
Are you ready for Eurovision? No, we’re not sure if we are, either.
But on Saturday, 18th May, an eclectic mix of pop songs, erratic dance performances and oddly unique stars will compete for our hearts. While watching Eurovision does feel a bit like eating too much candy floss, we have to admit it’s a perfect Saturday night in with the family. The kids love the wacky performances, and it always encourages a fair bit of family debate.
With 26 acts in the final, we thought we’d share the toucanBox blog post, downloadable scorecard (with a bit of colouring in) and fun Eurovision facts with you. Head to the toucanBox website to read the full post and download your scorecard. Hey, and don’t forget to share this with your audience.

That’s why we’ve compiled a list of our favourite activities to do in a pinch. So next time you’re staring at a schedule-less day with the kiddies, pick one and get exploring. Without further ado, here’s our list of boredom-busting activities.
Cardboard Artist’s Palette
Painting is the most fun when you’re going a little bit crazy with colour, and experimenting! And there’s a lot to learn when you start to mix primary colours together to get different outcomes.
