Hello,
today I'll be writing about our activities with my kids during isolation because of covid19. I believe everyone has that experience in past two years, and how are you handeling it? I can tell that it's challenging because kids love to hang out with their friends and to play outside. So how to explain to your kids that for next two weeks we have to stay at home, and what activites can you do with them so they don't go crazy of boredom.
One of the first things we did was cleaning the house with kids. I gave them their cleaning kit, so they were extra motivated. They were cleaning windows and tables with their little spray bottle. It ended pretty well, table was never cleaner but also never more wet. Can't say I wasn't sattisfied. Furthermore, they had to put all their toys in boxes and ofcourse sort them. And for end of cleaning there was vaccuming the house. They really enjoyed it and they were happy to be includded as equals.
When there was time to make lunch, I also included them to help in preparation. There was alot of mess but lunch was perfect and we all enjoyed it. And kids were never happier. Problem with eating we usually have with our son seemed to be gone. He ate food he made by himself and really enjoyed it. Our tummies and hearts were full.
When I needed a break there was colored dough for them to play. It gave me a time to sit down and drink coffee or do sth for may job on laptop.
There was also a lot of storytelling which they adore. Reading to your kids is very important fot their emotional development and language development, so I read to my kids every chance I get. We go to library to get book, and we buy some in shop. So we have little library of our own at home.
As you can tell from written and from pictures, we had a great time and we spent our time well. Hope you like this post, I'll write again soon.
Xoxo, Ana-Maria 💕
