Fun, easy, home-based activities for kids
Schools worldwide are closed in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus).
It is heartening to see author/illustrator friends sharing content online to help kids keep brains/bodies active during these newly homebound days. Here is my contribution.
Twenty years ago, I wrote a now out-of-print book called 365 Adventures (later repackaged as 365 Things to Do Before You Grow Up).
I'll be adding entry one a day to this post (newest at top, not in book order). You are, of course, free to copy/share.
Disclaimer 1 of 3: Some references may now be outdated. But that gives you a secondary activity: look up those references.
Disclaimer 2 of 3: Some activities require friends. When social distancing is in effect, substitute "friends" with "people who are currently in my house/apartment." (Or perhaps you can do some activities with friends by FaceTime or a similar program.)
Disclaimer 3 of 3: As the title suggests, there are 365 entries. World, don't make me post them all.
