Something
to do while staying at home:
-
MAYBE we can get outside today.
Jumping rope is fun, it is good exercise, and kids and grownups
can participate together.
-
Craft day!
-
Another cool and damp day ahead.
Today stay inside and try something a little more challenging.
Take two smaller jigsaw puzzles (500 pieces or less) and pour
all the pieces into a bowl. Mix them up, dump them out and
put together two puzzles at once!
-
Rainy days are great for slow cooking.
Prepare this home made Beef Stew and enjoy the cooking aroma all
day long!
-
There is rain in the forecast the rest
of this week. Use that time inside to learn a new craft -
Macramé. Learn your knots with shorter pieces of
inexpensive yarn. When you're ready, move on to jute or
sturdy cord and make your own plant hanger for outdoor use
later.
-
Time to take a nature walk.
Kickapoo Creek Park is open for hiking when observing social
distancing. Read the article - print the scavenger hunt
sheet and go for a walk. If you don't want to go to the
park, you can also find most of these items in our city and
county parks and maybe even in your own back yard!
-
For all our stay at home
parent/teachers and students you can take a great field trip to
a local museum right in front of your computer. View the
three part field trips of the Lincoln Heritage Museum at Lincoln
College. Hosted by Anne Moseley and Ron Keller.
-
We know this has gone on for WEEKS now.
Our little ones especially may have become restless and need a
little help to stay at their best. Try creating a Reward Chart
for each one. Customize it with chores they can do, homework
goals, and acts of kindness they show to one another. Then,
give them a reward to work toward with their good behavior and
helping around the house.
