How to entertain kids in Canada during lockdown?

Post new topic

Loïc

Hello everyone,

As countries are being locked down one after another, Canada is no exception and as a parent, the situation is oftenly new: entertaining children and working remotely.

How do you explain the situation in Canada or globally to them?

How do you manage to work remotely with your children around?

How do you make them learn new things (school related or not)? Any tips to share?

Hoping you are all safe and sound.

Find printable templates, print them and trace them on cardboard to use it as a stencil for the kids. Cut out and let them decorate it. Also, I really like pinterest for kid stuff. I've done a lot from there already. On pinterest search for 'quick science experiments' and you'll come up with a boat load of stuff. We've made sidewalk chalk, crayons, tons of stuff.
