While some of our state is opening up, we are still very much staying close to home and keeping ourselves quarantined. There is just too much uncertainly right now for us to risk getting ourselves or other family members sick, when in all reality, it could be avoided or at least we can lower the chances.
Thankfully, we are and have always been home bodies. The first few weeks were pretty easy for us, but the last couple weeks have proven to become a little more difficult to keep ourselves busy and entertained. Here are a few suggestions to keep your kids entertained whether you are staying home or starting to venture out that won't cost you any money.
Teach and play board games or cards. We just ordered this game it's called Crokibnole. On nice days, get outside and play some games.
Instead of going out to a movie, stay home and rent your own or find something on Netflex or Hulu. You can rent a movie, buy some popcorn and maybe even a special drink all for less than the cost of 1 movie ticket.
Play in the water. Set up a sprinkler, wash the cars, have a squirt gun fight. Fill buckets of water and give the kids paintbrushes to paint the sidewalk.
Go on a nature walk.
Picnics either outside in your own yard or drive to a park.
Our kids have been writing lots of letters. Everyone enjoys receiving a hand written letter in the mail!
Put together a puzzle.
Make forts. We do them inside all the time when it rains but how about outside? Set up a tent for the day.
Do some baking. Have your child pick the recipe and help with the baking.
We have a cookie book that the kids like to pick from.
Paint rocks.

Plant some flowers, or start a garden.
Take care and stay safe!
