Activities for Kids and Parents!
Activities for Kids and Parents!
We created a list of ideas to help you get through these tough times of social distancing. I’ve had so much fun with my kids these last couple days so I thought I would share the list of activities we plan to do during this isolation effort we are in.
Here’s the big list but we also created a printable just in case you wanted to print it out and put it on the refrigerator or hand it to friends.
