I'm Bored!!!!
Otherwise known as: “What shall we do now?”
I know there are lots of different social media posts and websites offering ideas for what to do with the children whilst in isolation. And I know schools are offering varying levels of support and resources too.
As I reach parents in both the UK and NZ, I thought some of the ideas I am seeing from both sides of the globe may provide some fresh ideas.
(Also having them all in one place gives me a go-to page when I forget what else we could be doing!!)
I will add to this page as and when I come across new ideas.
(And no, this photo isn't one of my kids....I am not a parent that does messy play well, or at all......well, not intentionally!!!)
Many activities of different types to do at home.
