With the coronavirus pandemic keeping everyone indoors, we’re going on weeks—if not months—of spending time at home with our kids. Whether your school is providing “distance learning” resources, or whether you’re venturing into homeschooling unassisted, you’re still going to have quite a few hours that need to be filled with activities. Thankfully, there are loads of resources available for kids and their parents, and many of them are absolutely free.
I’m still adjusting to having my two kids—ages 7 and 5—home all day while I work, but we’ve managed to find some pretty incredible online resources to keep everyone occupied. From printable worksheets to virtual museum tours, here are 18 of the free resources that we’ve discovered, used—and loved—over the last few weeks.
Preschool
1. Children’s Museum of Manhattan
My kids _love_ the Children’s Museum of Manhattan (CMOM), so I’m not surprised to see that their virtual offerings are almost as awesome as visiting in person. The new CMOM at Home features daily activities for kids that are easy and fun to do at home. Each day of the week has a theme, like Magical Monday and Artsy Thursday, and activities of all different types are pegged to these themes. While many of the projects are designed for little kids to do alongside a parent, older kids may enjoy doing them independently.{{ ad_skip }}
