Author KatiePosted on Leave a comment

Lots of kids are home from school for a few weeks due to the corona virus situation. And the idea of trying to keep them entertained for a few weeks, and not being able to go places with them, may be stressful. But it doesn’t have to be. If anyone knows how to entertain kids at home, its homeschooling parents. Ha.

Make the best out of the situation and view this time as a good opportunity to bond with your children. Spend quality time with them. Don’t just stick them in front of a TV, but do things with them. And obviously, practice good hygiene and stay healthy.

I came up with a list of things you can do with your kids to help you out a little. Some things, you have to purchase. But things like this, things that will spark creativity, create memories, good bonding time, are worth it!

What you can do with your kids at home:

These boxes come with everything you need and have a ton of different projects and will keep you busy for hours.

  • We work all day and then come home, exhausted, snapping at them for any irritating little thing they do, even if it’s normal child behaviour.
  • We demand that they help with house work, but they whine and complain about it, so we get irritated and then they don’t like us and grudgingly drag their feet while doing what we asked, if that.
  • They come to us and ask us to take them somewhere or do something with them, but it’s at a bad time and we are so busy right now, so we say we’ll do it later.
