DIY Activities for Adults, Families & Kids
DIY ideas for kids and families
As we venture deeper into the Coronavirus pandemic, families are sticking quite a bit closer to home. It is a scary and confusing time for us all - lots of stress for everyone! I’m taking this weekend to kind of wrap my brain around the whole experience, while also making a few lists of things that are going to be important to me (and the family) as we are off from school and spending so much time at home.
Self care will be of the utmost importance to me as I know that this will be a super stressful next few weeks - I know so many have major anxiety around this pandemic. Aside from hand washing and social distancing, I am following an anti-inflammatory diet, making sure to move my body every day and trying to remember some self care practices! I brought home an entire bin of DIY supplies from the studio where I’ve been working, so there will be plenty of opportunities for me to immerse myself in projects and work to pass the time.
I am putting together a list of ideas for things to do while at home - some are for young families, some are for older. Continue to check back as this list will continue to grow!
