As the Covid19 virus hits the US, many of us are hunkering down at home with the kids. Schools are shutting down and while some have been able to transition into solid distance learning programs; most schools simply weren’t set up for video conferencing with kids/teachers or online coursework. As schools and teachers scramble to figure out how to create meaningful learning for their students at home; parents are scrambling to figure out how to administer schoolwork or other activities to their kids (many while trying to figure out work, money, access to groceries, and health concerns). Let’s just say you get a major A+ for keeping your kids engaged, excited, minimizing screen time, and everyone staying sane at the same time!
That’s where we come in! Here are TONS of things to do at home with your kids no matter what age. Lucky for us we live in a time where you can learn just about anything if you have the desire and an internet connection or some good books. 🙂
