Here are some ideas for spending time with them and making this quarantine period a memorable family experience.
- Play 'What shape are the clouds?' by the window. You can play relaxing music in the background.
- Trace images on the window.
- Read and tell stories as a family.
- Crafts:
- Make your own puppets with toilet rolls and paint.
- Experiment with "milk painting". All you need is whole milk, paint or food colouring, washing-up liquid and toothpicks.
- Bring spring into your home: make flowers out of coloured paper, draw rainbows, create butterflies, etc.
- Make your own cardboard train using biscuit boxes, milk cartons, tea boxes, etc. Just cut off the lid and decorate them as you like, stick some circles on the sides to simulate wheels and connect the carriages with string.
- Create cardboard masks like those used in the Venice carnival using egg boxes.
