Parents, we know that you are working very hard to keep life as normal as possible during this uncharted time in our lives. You are parent, teacher, cook, entertainer, and “chief encourager” as your kids miss their school, their friends and their freedom. We’re here for you! Please let us know how we can help.
Today, we offer something pretty simple. Perhaps the schoolwork is done and you just need a few minutes to collect your thoughts, do a little work, etc.
If you have a few cardboard tubes in your recycling bin, and some art supplies, set them on the table along with some of the ideas below and let your kids create! This is pretty open-ended. From slippery snakes to marble mazes, this can be fun for all ages.
Have some cardboard tubes, tape, and a marble or pom pom? Try this!
