Sonia is a mum of three boys 4, 6 and 8 years old. She is originally from Kenya but now lives in the UK. She has been doing many activities to keep them busy so let’s see some of them….
What did you do:
The activity involved taking a walk and picking any object (we chose sticks) and making something out of it. My son wanted to choose the family.
What’s your next project idea?
I am planning on painting our walls in an abstract design. I just started today.
How are you finding being housebound with kids so far?
I find being housebound with kids interesting as we are doing activities we could probably not think of in normal circumstances. My older son can cook simple meals and is learning the guitar. I live with my mother in law who’s 80 and it has brought us all very close with the current situation.
Any tips to help people when they are housebound with kids?
Plan an activity a day before or a few days before so you have the equipment needed. Think of this situation as a learning opportunity and it will be easier to get through this sad time in the world. My sons have started writing pen pal letters to people around the world their age and have made new friends. It passes their time and they get thrilled to receive handwritten letters in the post.
