Creative projects for your kids to make at home

In our home state of Michigan, the governor has closed schools for the next three weeks. Many other states around the country are also enacting similar measures to stop the spread of COVID-19, or a novel coronavirus.

With kids home for the next few weeks (at least), many families are left wondering how to occupy the time. Though screens may seem like an easy go-to, experts are encouraging families to find stimulating and educational activities for kids so they don’t fall behind. Creative projects are a great way to keep your young scholar’s mind working as we shelter in place. Our team has pulled together some of their favorites.

As our nation works together to solve this crisis, we hope we can still find ways to (safely) Make It Fun for the kids!
