What are your children going to do while at home due to all the school closures?

And guess what?
All these activities are screen-free activities meaning your kiddos can take a break from their tablets for a while. These activities are for a wide age range so pick and choose the best ones for your family.
As a parent and teacher, I think it’s so important that our children learn to be entertained without always relying on electronics. In today world’s children needed to be taught how to entertain themselves in other ways because it doesn’t come naturally since we rely so heavily on electronics.
Sad, but true.
