#2 Arts & Crafts (For the Kids)
Arts and crafts will surely keep your kids entertained for a little while.

#3 Indoor Camping (All Ages)
You don’t have to have all the fancy camping items to actually go camping these days. Bring back your childhood memories and make a campsite in your living room while gazing up at the glow-in-the-dark stars. If you have little ones, you can incorporate fun camping foods and camping crafts to keep them entertained! Get ready for tent forts, ghost stories, and faux fires made out of toilet paper rolls. Don’t forget the s’mores!

#4 Social Distancing with Netflix (All Ages)
Grab a bag of popcorn, your favorite soda (or wine) and relax inside your “home theatre”. Netflix now has Netflix Party, which can be downloaded on your computer or laptop to chat with your friends during a movie or t.v. show. It may not be the same as hanging out in person, but it’s a fun alternative to kick-off social distancing.
