Coronavirus: Keeping Busy at Home

/
IMG_6382.jpeg

I imagine you’re at home right now like me trying to figure out what the heck to do to keep your kids busy since school is closed (and everything else we do is closed like the zoo, YMCA, Children’s Museum, etc). UGH! I feel so much anxiety about what I’m going to do to keep my little guys entertained and learning. And social media is overwhelming me. In fact, I almost feel more anxious after going online - it’s like all this information is being tossed out into the world but I can’t seem to keep track of it all, and not to mention how to deceiver what will actually work for my kid’s age and temperament. On top of that, I’m thinking I need some sort of schedule since everyone is doing it. AHHH.

….. DEEP BREATHE ….

So I started a list since that makes me feel better usually. Below what I’ve gathered. Then as we were on a walk yesterday, I came up with a schedule. It needed to be pretty relaxed and flexible given weather and moods.

Our Routine / Schedule:

  • Wake-up and getting dressed

  • Breakfast (with shows)

  • Learning Time & Activities 

  • Free Play (and/or walk, weather permitting)

  • Lunch

  • Nap / Quiet Time

  • Outside time (weather permitting)

  • Afternoon playtime 

  • Dinner

  • Bedtime

Yesterday, we tried Cosmic Yoga and Emily Arrow’s storytime and it just ended with Caleb jumping on the couch. Today BookFlix via the Tacoma Library worked well - we learned about space. We also did Mystery Science’s How does hand sanitizer kill germs? And then followed it up with the pepper handwashing experiment.

What are you up to? How are you doing?

Stay sane! Stay healthy! Virtual Hugs!! YOU CAN DO THIS!!
