6 Printable Children’s Activities for Learning & Mindfulness
As a WAHM (work at home mom), I’ve admittedly been behind on all the Coronavirus COVID-19 news. Hearing blurbs here and there was leaving me so confused about what is going on and what (or if) the official plan is. I literally Googled “What should I be doing right now?” yesterday. I still don’t really have a clear picture about what I should be doing, but what did catch my eye is all the news of school closures.
My littles are just 10 months old so we are sticking to our usual of naps, teethers, and burning energy in their walkers. But, I started thinking about all you caregivers out there who are suddenly at home with older kiddos. Hopefully the weather is good where you are (it’s raining here in California!) and can get them outside, or else you’re probably thanking the heavens that Disney+ exists.
If you’re wanting a break from the screens and are looking for activities to get the brain moving again check out these amazing Etsy shops. They all offer printable activities so you aren’t staring out the window waiting for the mail to arrive. You can pry those kids away from their devices stat!
