Things to do for kids
Posted on February 6, 2023
Hello Everybody,
I really hope you are all doing okay during these challenging times.
Since many children are/will be home from school, we thought it would be useful to share a list of ideas from a parent who home-schools. It seems to be a great range of free resources to help keep little people engaged, entertained and learning during the coming weeks.
Hope it’s useful – feel free to share with anyone who you think may benefit from this
Stay safe and healthy.
