Being a working parent is challenging, and the coronavirus pandemic hasn't made parenting any easier. We're here for you, families, and we've created this list of 18 kid-friendly ideas and activities to do at home. Hopefully, they'll help keep your kids entertained and educated, and your sanity intact.

First, take a deep breath. These are challenging times. If you're stressed, you're not alone. No one is grading you on how well you're handling this or scoring you on how much grace and finesse you show. You have a big heart for your family and your work. You can only do what you can do, and God is here to catch you and any balls you drop.

Second, let one of these kid-friendly ideas entertain and educate your kids while you get some work done. If it works, grab another one to use while you practice some much-needed self-care.

Not a Pinterest mom or dad? No problem. We'll make most of these kid-friendly ideas super easy and tailored to hectic times.
18 Kid-Friendly Ideas and Activities to Entertain Your Kids and Keep You Sane
1. Den and Cave Building. There is something stress-relieving about creating cozy spaces that shut out the rest of the world. I don't know a child who doesn't love to pile up pillows, couch cushions, and blankets to make an impromptu hiding place. They can have all kinds of safe adventures inside their little getaways. This kid-friendly idea keeps kids busy for hours. Let them invite you into it and make sure they know how special it is for you to be a guest in their den!

2. Free Audible books. We are so touched at how many organizations have come forward with free resources for parents and their kids! Audible is giving away free audiobooks for kids of all ages "for as long as schools are closed." The books are handpicked by their editors to be the best books in every age group. Check out the free stories on their website: stories.audible.com

3. Birthday parties for stuffed animals! If your kids are anything like ours, they love birthday parties. While some of us may look forward to a lack of parties as long as social distancing is still in effect, our kids live for these noisy, hectic events.

Not anyone's birthday today? That's okay!

Kids can imagine anything. So have them throw a make-believe birthday party for their favorite toy or stuffed animal. They can wrap up little presents in paper, sing Happy Birthday, play games, and pretend to have cake! (Or if there's a treat you approve of, they can pretend the treat is their birthday cake instead).

4. Life-sized drawings. These are so fun! Have your kids lie down on sheets from large rolls of paper (not toilet paper, no), cardboard, or taped-together copy paper and outline them. From there, let them draw their features, add clothing and accessories, and decorate away!

5. Painting! There is nothing like getting out some washable paint and letting your child unleash his or her inner van Gogh. Kids love paint! Since it's washable and relatively cheap, parents usually do, too! Check out Crayola washable paints or washable Tempera paints.

6. Recite Scripture together. You might already be realizing your need to meditate on Scripture throughout the day to keep your mind fixed on God's promises, but you can actually turn Scripture into a family activity, too. Kids love reciting short phrases with hand motions. It's like a game! Here are some verses for you and your kids.
Verses for comfort during anxious times: Short verses for kids:
Check out the way we use short phrases repeated in a story with hand motions to help kids memorize the Bible . Life.Church has even put together whole playlists like and to help your kids memorize Scripture. You can practice the motions together, and your kids could even put on a show to teach you their favorites.

7. Earning money for chores. Some kids will groan. Some kids think this is a blast! Even kids as young as four can love doing little jobs that earn cash. Make the job appropriate to the age of the child. If it's a four-year-old, keep it under a few minutes. If your kids are closer to ten or twelve, let them do the dishes, put away laundry, or mow the yard for cash or other rewards.

8. Dig For treasure. Use a plastic bowl or pitcher and fill it with tiny toys, like rubber dinosaurs and action figures, then pour dry rice or dried beans on top. Your kids will love finding the surprise toys inside the containers! Rice and beans are easier to clean up than dirt or sand.

Caution: This is not suitable for very young children who might try to eat the rice. This be something we learned from personal experience. 😂

You can also safely use Epsom salt (magnesium salt), if you prefer. Bonus, if you use Epsom salt, you can also put a few drops of lavender oil in the salt, which will help calm your children. Then you can pour the mixture in a hot, relaxing bath for yourself later!

9. Old-fashioned paper art. Snowflake-cutting is timeless, classic, and fun. It can keep some kids entertained for hours. Just ensure that they are old enough to safely use scissors while you work nearby. Search online for a good snowflake tutorial so you don't end up with square doilies.

10. Playdough. Squishy modeling clay never gets old. For added charm, make the playdough yourself . Some of us have memories of our mothers mixing up this amazingly simple recipe on the stovetop and letting us choose the color and add a few drops. Pink! Green! Marbled. Endless possibilities. An added benefit of homemade playdough is how warm it is when you first start playing with it. Who doesn't love playing with squishy, warm playdough?

11. Bubble paint. Did you know if you mix bubble solution (or dish soap) with paint, your kids can blow bubbles onto a canvas for unique and beautiful art? You want a big space for this and you will want to only use washable paint. Bubble paint is also fun to do outside on a warm day on your porch.

Add just a little soap and water to the paint to start with until you get a consistency that works for you. We recommend adding a tablespoon of water and a few drops of soap to begin with. If you start with a whole cup or two of water/soap mixture, you could end up with bubble paint that is too thin to paint with, like we did the first time we tried this.

12. Discover eBooks! The benefits of borrowing books through electronic readers are obvious and plentiful. You can exchange books that don't work quickly, you don't have to lug around heavy bags, and you don't get late fees (my favorite one). During confinement, however, borrowing eBooks is a necessity, not just a luxury. Let your kids help pick out books and read to them. It will calm them down, provide bonding, and boost their intelligence. Studies show that reading with your kids for just fifteen minutes a day boosts their IQ considerably.

13. Try a simple science experiment! We love how easy this experiment with celery, food dye, and water is. All you need is celery, food dye, and (wait for it) water! Put a stalk of celery in a glass and fill the glass half full. Then add a few drops of food coloring and watch the food dye move up the celery's capillaries for a few days.

Isn't science cool?

is chock full of videos for all ages. They are fun, entertaining, age-appropriate, and support values like sharing and thoughtfulness. They also promote peace and calm in troubled times. You and your kids will both benefit from the 14. Watch LifeKids! Our LifeKids media page Scripture and truth found on the LifeKids page!

15. Plant an indoor herb kit. If you happen to have seeds and peat moss in your shed or garage, this is a great time to introduce your kids to the wonder of growing living green things. If not, you should be able to order an herb garden kit online or find one at a dollar store or another store near you. If you can't find a garden kit, the dollar store might have peat moss, plant pots, and seeds, which could be less expensive than a kit.

16. Make frozen dinosaur eggs. If you have balloons and little rubber dinosaurs, put rubber dinosaurs inside the balloons, fill the balloons with water, and put them in the freezer. When frozen solid, let your children play with the dino eggs in a bucket or plastic bin. Spraying the dinosaur eggs with a water bottle will help melt them more quickly.

17. Shaving cream and bubble wrap. Tape bubble wrap to your table, put a smock on your child, spray the bubble wrap with shaving cream, and add a few drops of food dye to the mix. Explain to your child not to touch their eyes with shaving cream on their hands. Kids love this squishy, gooey, messy, sensory fun!

18. Play some old-fashioned classics before bed to connect and calm down. Simon Says and hide-and-seek are always going to be a win for young children. They love that they are doing it with you! While you work and keep your child busy, keep in mind that what they want most of all is your love and attention.

We hope these ideas provide some help during this time and maybe even spark some new ideas in the process! Just remember there's no judgment here. We're all in this together, and you were chosen to be your child's parent. So, when the day is done and you've managed to put work away, don't worry about having a Pinterest-worthy experience together. Just play with your kids however you can before putting them to bed. Practice one verse of Scripture and then don't worry about anything. Instead, pray about everything with your children. It will create peace and precious memories you'll cherish for a lifetime.

18 Easy, Kid-Friendly Ideas and Activities to Do at Home - Finds.Life.Church

Being a working parent is challenging, and the coronavirus pandemic hasn't made parenting any easier. We're here for you, families, and we've created this list of 18 kid-friendly ideas and activities to do at home. Hopefully, they'll help keep your kids entertained and educated, and your sanity intact.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
With every new year come the best intentions to grow, learn, and thrive, often through making resolutions and . But many of us find ourselves back in the old swing of things by mid-March, meaning we often set the same goals year after year. But I've learned some things that have made goal setting fun, intentional, mobilizing, and achievable. And the best part? I do it with my husband and , meaning we get to make family goals.

I get it. You may think that it's hard enough to keep your personal goals-so why would you even add in family goals ? But I've found that having the support of my family on all of my goals-shared and personal-helps hold me accountable and encourages me to keep them. So, here's what I've learned about making and keeping family goals:
1. Reflect.
I would argue that one of the most important parts of goal setting is reflection. Before you can take time to focus on your family goals for 2021, it's important to do a wrap-up of . I know, I know. 2020 brought an incredible tidal wave of challenges, but I think taking time to reflect with your family will also bring up 2020's bright spots .

To reflect on last year, sit around a table with your family and acknowledge the lowlights and highlights from January to December. Take time to sit in the loss and sadness that the lowlights brought and take time to celebrate the growth and joy that the highlights brought.

Here's the thing: The negative things will be so much easier to recall. We don't have to seek out negativity ; it actually seems to seek us out. But when we shine light on the positive things , and when we begin to take time to acknowledge the good things that happened, we train ourselves to identify them more quickly and regularly.

This last year has been full of curveballs, not only for us but also for our kids. They are learning, adjusting, growing, and overcoming-just as we are. This time of reflection will not only be a great starting point for 2021 family goals, but it's also prime soil for your family to connect more deeply and grow stronger together.
2. Dream and cast vision.
After you've taken time to reflect on the past year, you get to and cast vision for your family during the new year. We're all walking into 2021 with great uncertainty , but many things are still certain: God holds the whole world in His hands while still holding our fragile hearts. He is all-powerful personal.

Before jumping into all of the practical goals you want to set, spend time brainstorming who you want to become. Spend time asking yourself questions like: What do we want our family to be known for? At the end of this year, what do we want to be true of us? How might our family make a difference this year?

As Pastor Craig Groeschel says, "When you know who you are, you know what to do." So, cast vision about who your family is . What values do you have? What traits do you want to display? Use those to inform what family goals you set.
3. Stay focused.
We've talked about reflecting and dreaming. But how do we lead our family with grace, purpose, and inspiration? How can we work together as a family to encourage one another to increase in skill, meet a goal, or perhaps let go of something? How can we use what we know about the people we love most to set goals that will keep them motivated and inspired-all while having fun?

First, remember that we're doing the greatest work right inside our homes. We, as parents, are responsible for meeting our children's basic needs-changing diapers, making school lunches, etc.-but we have also been called to teach our children how to live a full life.

When I think about leading my kids into this coming year, the verse that is etched deep in my spirit is Nehemiah 6:3 : "So I replied by sending this message to them: 'I am engaged in a great work, so I can't come. Why should I stop working to come and meet with you?'"

If you know the story of Nehemiah , he was rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, and his enemies came to him four times with the same message: "Yo. Nehemiah, we just want to have a quick word, can you come down here?" And each time, Nehemiah's response remained the same: "I am engaged in a great work, so I can't come." In my family goal setting this year, I want to respond the because our goals are worth the intention and focus. same way Nehemiah did

So, while it may be tempting to come up with a whole list of goals -start small. Stay focused. Choose just a few family goals to focus on, and spend your time on what's most important-not what sounds good in the moment.
4. Set your goals.
Once you've narrowed your focus, it's time to set goals-both personally, and as a family.

Maybe you brainstorm some family goals, like eating more vegetables, doing more family nights, saving for a family vacation, or reading a YouVersion Bible in a Year Plan together. Maybe you also brainstorm individual goals, like taking an online art class, being a penpal, or something abstract like being more present. These goals should be in line with your passions, gifts, and callings. They should also be manageable-not overwhelming or impossible.

This process is a great way to encourage each member of your family, and it's a great opportunity for you to make it fun! You can point out what each person is naturally gifted at, and you can challenge one another to continue growing in that area. Consider having different members of your family come up with goals for someone else. Or celebrate your goal meeting by treating everyone to ice cream afterward. (Unless that's against one of your new goals. 😝)
5. Write them down, and review them often.
We often do our best work when our family is cheering us on. And we encourage one another regularly when we make it a priority. Just look at the advice in these two Scriptures:
Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress. Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. ... 1 Timothy 4:15-16 ESV
... "Write my answer plainly on tablets, so that a runner can carry the correct message to others." Habakkuk 2:2 NLT

Write down your personal and family goals so you don't forget them. Look at them often, checking in on one another's progress. Pull out your calendar and pencil in times to focus on your goals. If one of your goals is more family nights, sit down now and pick your dates for the year. If your goal is to be present at home, block time at the end of every workday to tie up any last-minute loose ends, so you can focus on your family without distraction.

James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits , wrote, "... you fall to the level of your systems." What can you systematize, plan, and protect to help you reach your family goals?

If we are able to intentionally pick up one new habit every year, and better yet, if we are able to teach our kids how to intentionally pick up one new , learn one new thing, and overcome a bad habit every year-we are giving them an incredible gift. So, this year, you can make family goals. And you can keep them. You were chosen for the family you have, and you love them deeply and endlessly. When you create a space for purposeful, collaborative growth, deep roots strengthen and remind us that we are always better together. Here's to your best year yet.

Ungrateful kids. We've all seen them. We've all dealt with them. We've all been frustrated with them. And if our memories were only long enough, we'd realize we all probably used to be them! It looks a little something like this.

Your preschooler doesn't want to share.

You can't make it through the grocery store without your kids asking for everything .

There's a fight every single day over who gets to sit in the front seat.

Your teen insists they deserve the newer, better, upgraded phone with the bigger data plan. Oh, and the latest shoes are desperately needed.

Do they even think, for one minute, of all the stuff you've done for them? They have so much-but they won't give What's the antidote for ungrateful kids?

Generosity can help! Here are a few (non-financially draining) ways to give your ungrateful kids a good dose of generosity to help it become their first habit-instead of their last. Pick one or two ideas you think will work well for your family.

Look at your example. What attitude influences your own heart? Do your kids hear you speaking words of gratefulness to your heavenly Father for what you have, and see you giving of yourself, or are you complaining more about the difficult life situations you face, the things you wish you had, or your inability to give? If you recognize your example is primarily ungrateful and selfish, don't beat yourself up. Meditate on God's Word, and ask for His help to reframe your mind .

Thank God together. Speaking words of gratefulness are a great first step to building grateful, generous kids. Seek out one time in your day when your family already prays together (like before a meal, on the way to school, or right before bed) or start a time where you have a short-but-sweet prayer time. Let a different family member share with God one thing they're grateful for each time you pray.

Help your kids see what they can give. Generosity can get tied to giving away possessions and money, but those aren't the only ways to be generous! Help your kids think through situations they face every day that offer them opportunities to be generous: giving up a spot in line at school, choosing to help someone with chores instead of playing, calling or visiting (not just texting!) a friend who is lonely or sad, praying for someone in need, sending chicken soup or a get well card to someone who is sick, or letting someone else choose which game to play.

Set generosity goals and celebrate wins. Once your kids have a good list of ways they can be generous, help your kids set generosity goals for themselves. Maybe your first grader wants to look for a chance to give up their turn to someone else. Maybe your teen wants to turn their phone off for 30 minutes to focus on someone in front of them. Whatever goal they want to pursue, encourage them, follow up to see how it goes, and celebrate their efforts.
A verse to help: ... Remind them to be ready to do what is good. Titus 3:1 NIRV
Practice financial generosity. This does mean you need to start handing out more money to your kids. But you can help your kids to be grateful for money in the right way-as a gift from the Lord, and not as something they earned and are entitled to. Either help your kids to think about the money they already have or include them in your family budgeting. Practice returning the tithe first as an act of obedience and gratefulness, then talk about how giving above that amount is generosity. Ask your kids what ministries, organizations, or individuals they'd like to give money to, and, if finances are available for it, make a plan to do it regularly. If finances aren't available, help your kids brainstorm ways they can make money (through a garage sale, mowing lawns, raking leaves, babysitting, etc.) so they can give to the causes that are near and dear to their heart.

Serve and volunteer. Look for holiday events, church volunteer opportunities, or roles in service organizations (such as food banks, meals on wheels, animal shelters, or tutoring programs) that your family can be a part of. Maybe your teen wants to babysit for another family regularly, or your whole family can take a few groceries to an elderly couple once a month. Think about your kids' gifts, talents, and what they care about as you select volunteer opportunities and make it a regular thing your family does to be generous with their time.

Age-Specific Ideas for Ungrateful Kids
Help your elementary kids to grow in gratitude:
Here are some resources for working with your kids to unlock the power of generosity. Each age group also includes some questions you can use to start a conversation about generosity and gratitude in your home.

Show your preschoolers and verbal toddlers how to be generous:

Connect with your preteens about giving:

Practice living a generous life with your teenagers:

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"Simple, smart, and effective solutions to your child's struggles."-Harvey Karp, M.D.

"Daniel Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson have created a masterly, reader-friendly guide to helping children grow their emotional intelligence. This brilliant method transforms everyday interactions into valuable brain-shaping moments. Anyone who cares for children-or who loves a child-should read The Whole-Brain Child."-Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence

In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the bestselling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson offer a revolutionary approach to child rearing with twelve key strategies that foster healthy brain development, leading to calmer, happier children. The authors explain-and make accessible-the new science of how a child's brain is wired and how it matures. The "upstairs brain," which makes decisions and balances emotions, is under construction until the mid-twenties. And especially in young children, the right brain and its emotions tend to rule over the logic of the left brain. No wonder kids throw tantrums, fight, or sulk in silence. By applying these discoveries to everyday parenting, you can turn any outburst, argument, or fear into a chance to integrate your child's brain and foster vital growth.

Complete with age-appropriate strategies for dealing with day-to-day struggles and illustrations that will help you explain these concepts to your child, The Whole-Brain Child shows you how to cultivate healthy emotional and intellectual development so that your children can lead balanced, meaningful, and connected lives.

"[A] useful child-rearing resource for the entire family . . . The authors include a fair amount of brain science, but they present it for both adult and child audiences."-Kirkus Reviews

"Strategies for getting a youngster to chill out [with] compassion."-The Washington Post

"This erudite, tender, and funny book is filled with fresh ideas based on the latest neuroscience research. I urge all parents who want kind, happy, and emotionally healthy kids to read The Whole-Brain Child. This is my new baby gift."-Mary Pipher, Ph.D., author of Reviving Ophelia and The Shelter of Each Other

"Gives parents and teachers ideas to get all parts of a healthy child's brain working together."-Parent to Parent

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The pioneering experts behind The Whole-Brain Child and The Yes Brain tackle the ultimate parenting challenge: discipline.
"A lot of fascinating insights . . . an eye-opener worth reading."-Parents

Highlighting the fascinating link between a child's neurological development and the way a parent reacts to misbehavior, No-Drama Discipline provides an effective, compassionate road map for dealing with tantrums, tensions, and tears-without causing a scene.

Defining the true meaning of the "d" word (to instruct, not to shout or reprimand), the authors explain how to reach your child, redirect emotions, and turn a meltdown into an opportunity for growth. By doing so, the cycle of negative behavior (and punishment) is essentially brought to a halt, as problem solving becomes a win/win situation. Inside this sanity-saving guide you'll discover

* strategies that help parents identify their own discipline philosophy-and master the best methods to communicate the lessons they are trying to impart
* facts on child brain development-and what kind of discipline is most appropriate and constructive at all ages and stages
* the way to calmly and lovingly connect with a child-no matter how extreme the behavior-while still setting clear and consistent limits
* tips for navigating your child through a tantrum to achieve insight, empathy, and repair
* twenty discipline mistakes even the best parents make-and how to stay focused on the principles of whole-brain parenting and discipline techniques

Complete with candid stories and playful illustrations that bring the authors' suggestions to life, No-Drama Discipline shows you how to work with your child's developing mind, peacefully resolve conflicts, and inspire happiness and strengthen resilience in everyone in the family.
Praise for No-Drama Discipline
"With lucid, engaging prose accompanied by cartoon illustrations, Siegel and Bryson help parents teach and communicate more effectively." -Publishers Weekly

"Wow! This book grabbed me from the very first page and did not let go." -Lawrence J. Cohen, Ph.D., author of The Opposite of Worry
