Quarantine Survival Tips with Kiddos
Friends, we have truly entered strange times. It’s all we talk about at home and things seem to be changing by the hour. We are now faced with home schooling, potential national lock down and maintaining our normal work loads as working parents. We all have questions but with a little creativity and a new home structure plan…we will get through this!
I will do my best to share content that I find helpful as I have a 3rd and 2nd grader that I need to keep busy. Screen time is eminent but it’s really all about activity blocks which will promote physical exercise, critical thinking and creativity. Of all the shopping I’ve done, it’s the crafting projects I’ve purchased that I am most excited for. Still on the hunt for toilet paper. Oy.
Sharing a quick guide below of one daily project to get the kids excited for as well as a Covid-19 School Schedule and a recipe that the kids can get involved in. Here we go!
First off, let’s talk apple chips! We made these in 40 minutes via this easy recipe. Use any apples you have handy. We used Honey Crisp apples and they turned out great. No guilt either! I recommend using two apples because my kids plowed through the first batch.
Here’s the daily Covid-19 schedule we will be following.
Finally, here’s a couple more ideas you can do to keep the entire family engaged:
Rock painting
Make your own pasta
Make a collage for the grandparents
Learn a language
Make a new recipe
Tackle a 1500 piece puzzle
Daily family yoga flow
Stovetop s’mores
Family plank contest

When you have chronic pain, it feels like you're having chronic conversations about it, too. It's a joy-sucking, time-sucking event that can drain you mentally and physically.
