Written by: Sarah Sharaby

The entire world is going through a very difficult time as we speak. Many countries are facing lockdowns, panic is all over the place as the world sits and watches the ongoing chaos coronavirus has caused. With the two week suspension of schools ahead, we should all keep our kids home to help contain the virus. Needless to say, staying at home with children full of energy is not an easy task.  The kids will definitely be bored out of their minds, but hopefully, we can manage this phase to help overcome the spread of the virus.

Here are a few ideas/tips to keep your kids busy during the two-week break:
