How are we staying busy during the pandemic?

Coronavirus, we all know about it at this point in time. Schools are closed, jobs are closing and we are all being refined to our homes. *The Foreign Exchange Market is still open.* I wanted to share a few ideas for Parent(s) like myself who are at home and want to get a little creative with their time...

1. BUY PAINT. Paint a picture, paint a box, paint sticks, paint clay...
2. PLANT SEEDS. I got my family some pots, dirt and seeds for basil, cilantro, mint and peppers.
3. BOARD GAMES. My kids are 3 & under so I got Hungry Hungry Hippos & Let's Go Fishing.
4. FOCUS ON SCHOOL, still. Because my kid is in preschool there's no E-learning or packets being sent home. We are still working on those writing skills, utilizing puzzles and practicing counting.
5. COOK & BAKE! I made sure to buy sprinkles and icing to spark up baking sessions. I've also made sure to add home made pizzas, muffins and cornbreads and other things for the kids to be hands on. If you have older kids get them stir Frys they just can't mess up.
6. CHORES! This is a great time to introduce younger kids to chores. Something they need to "clean" every day without being asked. 
7. WORKOUT. We know we love the gym, mommy's... but now is a great time to attempt to workout with your kids. Get them to STOP climbing on you and actually participate. Breathe through the frustrations of not being able to do more than 4 sit ups in a row cause baby girl is crawling on your legs and try to get kiddos to do what you do.
8. Clean your car AT HOME. Plug that vacuum in and scrub those doors. It's the perfect time to get squeaky clean. The kids will love utilizing the vacuum. Have them put all the big stuff in a bag, vacuum the floors and wipe their own windows.
