MyCareSpace has prepared a list of Covid-safe ideas for children to keep boredom at bay that F2L thinks are worth sharing.
- Go camping in the garden, backyard, or living room – if you have a tent it does not cost a thing. Make some hotdogs and tell stories until kids fall asleep.
- Plant a vegetable patch – you don’t need a garden for this. Most of the fun comes from finding containers to recycle such pots, painting them and planting the seeds.
- Let the kids dig for fossils – bury a bunch of cheap dinosaur toys in the garden or yard – give everyone a plastic spade for digging. Or buy some inexpensive ‘replica’ dinosaur bones online or from a museum.
- Make salt dough ornaments – bring out the creativity in the children making figurines, letters or animals. This helps to foster fine motor skills through sculpting, painting and threading.
