These days we’re all facing a new reality and we whether we like it or not, there’s nothing we can do but learn how to adjust to the new situation, and we could all use a distraction. With the new safety instructions, it’s safer to stay at home these days, for the benefit of our physical health – but what about our mental health?
Schools and kindergartens are out, and parents are required to work from home, and while spending some family quality time is always a good idea, too much of it can become overwhelming. Here are some ideas in case you’ve already watched all the content on Netflix and looking for some creative, entertaining and enriching ways to pass the time with the kids.
1. In the kitchen
While some of us know our way in the kitchen like the back of our hands, others can’t tell the difference between a tomato and a potato. This self-isolation is a good opportunity to finally learn how to cook – restaurants are closed, take away and delivery services are suspended, and you have all the time in the world. No more excuses, time to learn how to cook.
This is easier said than done, because some of us really don’t know what we’re doing in the kitchen. That’s why world-renowned chefs have recruited to our aid, and they’re sharing some cooking tips to help us get through this lockdown. You can cook alone (just make sure not to eat alone) or you can make a fun group activity out of this; there are plenty of easy recipes you can make with the little ones.
