What to do with your kids during lockdown

Hi everyone back with another blog, sharing some tips on What to do with your kids during lockdown:

Try and stick to a routine as much as possible so it isn’t so much of a shock to them for when they finally return to school
Create them a learning or play corner of a room so they can do some homework, play games, draw pictures or create cards for family members and family friends that they aren’t able to see at the moment
Have your kids help you with extra chores such as sweeping and cleaning the floors in the house etc
Have a movie day or evening so they can watch their favourite films, with some popcorn, different healthy snacks and a drink of their choice
Create them an email address for them so they can email friends and family to send a nice message to
Have your children use this time to tidy their rooms and go through any clothes they have grown out of that can be passed down or given away or sort through along with any toys they no longer need
Create some wall art by doing hand or foot prints to display using different coloured paints
Have some reading time. I mention this a lot in my blogs, because I do think it is so important for a child’s learning and improve their writing and verbal skills
If you have a garden why not have your children find different coloured leaves and flowers to wash and use for creating art and room decor
Give your kids a cookery class, as during school days this isn’t always possible due to time, so using this time to do other bits and bobs is great for them to for example enhance their cooking skills
