75 Fun and Simple Activities for Kids at Home. Lots of fun (and free) ideas to keep the kids from getting bored while stuck at home.
These are strange times we are living in right now. Schools throughout our country are closed for two weeks or more. Parents are being shoved into homeschooling, and kids are already starting to whine about being bored. Last night, scrolling through social media and feeling more and more overwhelmed, I needed to do something positive and productive.
Since so many of us are stuck at home to do our part to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus, I wracked my brain to come up with lots of ideas of what we can all do at home in the upcoming weeks. And because I love to share, I created a free printable you can hang on the fridge!
