Coronavirus and kids - Fun activity ideas to keep your kids busy during this quarantine

We are facing unprecedented times. Children are being forced to stay home as schools are closed and parents are desperately tearing their own hair out trying to find ways to keep the kids occupied.

Once you've exhausted the usual video games, iPad apps and board games, what's left?

One thing that we at The Wax Seal recommend is crafting. It's a brilliant way to tap into your child's creativity whilst also being engaging and fun. It also has the added benefit of keeping them occupied for potentially hours on end.

Just think, they could create cards (birthday/anniversary/thinking of you) for the entire family! You'll no longer need to head over to the store to stock up on greeting cards - use your kids to save you money!

Getting started with crafting is simple. You just need some supplies such as paper, pens, colouring crayons, glue, safety scissors etc. The list could go on and on.

For the parents with more time on hand to spend with children, you could get into more advanced forms of crafting activities to engage the kids. Just think of wax seals, origami and calligraphy. The opportunities are endless!
