Technology: I know there are so many parents that question the amount of time that their child is spending on technology... and I am sure now more then ever parents are struggling with what they need to get done during the day and keeping their children entertained.... I put together a few ideas of parents on how technology can be used to help connect and not divide in these times. Hope these help fill your days...
TV/ Movies:
- Pic a show that you can watch one episode a day
- Have a special movie time with all the pillows of the house in the living-room
- Create different spice recipes for popcorn
Good websites:
- Pintrest (so many activity ideas that you can organize and keep)
- Audible: to get books to listen together or to keep the occupied.
I pad apps:
1) making your own puppet show - puppet palls, puppet palls 2 ( both free with payed add on features)
2) Making stop motion animation - Stop motion (free with add on features)
3) Animate anything from a drawing and a stuffed animal - puppetMaster (minimal cost)
4) https://www.gonoodle.com (for physical activity)
Childrens podcasts:
There are a lot of Good childrens podcasts that they can listen to alone or together :
