Since “staycation” sounds like a lot more fun than “quarantine,” that’s how I’m choosing to look at all of the extra time we may be spending at home these days. It’s all about perspective, right? While a forced staycation may sound fantastic to many of us adults, the kids will eventually be climbing the walls without some sort of stimulation, entertainment, and activity. Sure, you could search Pinterest for hours on end and find tons of great ideas, but I figured I’d do some of the work for you. Here, you’ll find a compilation of past articles with crafts, games, and other in-home activity ideas.
