Some interesting ways to keep the kids occupied while at home.

With schools closed down because of the coronavirus many parents like me are trying to figure out things to do with our kids while we are all stuck at home during these challenging days. Now after the kids get done with all of the school work that many schools sent home for them to do, you might want to try out some of these activities to keep your kids occupied.

As I get ready for the day with my kids today, I was trying to come up with some things for us to do while we are at the house later today that don't involve any iPad or video game system.

Here are some of the things we came up with, with the easy ones first, you can always read together, board games, card games, do a puzzle, breakout the coloring books or you can do like me and try to introduce your kids to doing some more chores around the house.

You can teach your kids how to make the perfect bed, show them how to wash dishes by hand, maybe introduce them to how to cook a small meal. What other things can we show our kids to do while we are stuck at home? Call or text us through the Wolf app.

Jess came up with a chore that I think will keep kids busy for hours upon hours during all of this.....try to get your kids to properly fold a fitted sheet. Go ahead try it and let us know how it goes!
