Fun (&Safe) Activities For The Kids To Do!
BUT there’s a silver lining everywhere you look. From cities starting to slowly reopen, to more time spent with the family as a whole lately, there are positive outlooks, all around us.
We know it’s bee rough, for some more than others, but we really are in this together, and we’ve found some great ways for keeping the kids busy all Summer long!
Enjoy!
**Get Outside!
Though the kiddos can’t get out there and play with their friends, there’s still something to be said for a healthy dose of vitamin D!
Do some gardening together, layout in the sun, practice some yoga poses, make art with chalk (or maybe play some hopscotch?), and even do a scavenger hunt!

**Set up a treasure hunt
Treasure hunts are pretty easy and depending on how many items there are, could last a while. Hide anywhere from 10 to 20 items around the house or outside to keep kids occupied for a few hours.
**Write a letter
Break out the envelopes, the stamps, the pens, and paper. No, we’re not talking e-mails; we’re talking old-fashion snail mail. Write a mail a letter to someone you love, like grandma and grandpa, or a family member who lives far away.
**Watch the beluga whales at the Georgia Aquarium
There’s a beluga whale webcam set up at the Georgia Aquarium, so you can see what your whale friends are up to at anytime.

**Interview each other
Interviewing is an important skill. You and your child can start interviewing each other face-to-face by asking each other questions and taking notes. If your child shows interest, they can take it to another level by calling a grandparent or family member and interviewing them over the phone.
**Bake together
Cookies, cakes, brownies. Anything! Baking is a great lesson in measuring, ingredients, and of course, making delicious goodies.
**Listen to Stuff You Should Know
Stuff You Should Know is a podcast for kids. You know, stuff they should know.
