Home learning activities for kids due to coronavirus

in Motherhood on 03/16/20

As many of you know by now most schools have been cancelled because of the coronavirus. Kids are home now which can be a change for everyone in the family. The parents are now in charge of home learning and activities, which can be tough. I quickly put this list together yesterday in hopes to help those parents at home with their kids.

Home Learning activities coronavirus school closure

I graduated in elementary education and taught 4th grade for three years. I know how hard it can be to keep a child’s attention and come up with ideas. I looked over all these sites and I think they will be great learning tools for your kids.

I made a list of home learning websites and accounts to follow. I also shared some instagram accounts that are good to follow to get ideas for indoor activities for kids. I also made a list of Disneyplus shows for toddlers that might be fun during this time as well. Check that out HERE

Home Learning for Kids

Its been amazing to see the generosity from some of these online learning accounts. They are giving away their content for free to help those parents with kids at home. I made a list of some websites that have printable learning activities and more.

Home Learning websites

Home Learning activities

  • Teachers Pay Teachers
    • I used this website all the time when I was a 4th grade teacher. This is a great resource to find lesson plans or activities based on your childs age. Everything is created by teachers so its well thought out and great material!
    • Most of the activities you do have to pay for, but they do have a lot of free things as well.

  • Stop Motion Camp
    • “I would love to share my stop motion kids camp during this crazy time. I believe that creating stop motion videos is a form of creative magic making!✨ It’s tedious, and time consuming, and because of all that effort, it’s so rewarding! I am hoping that by offering this resource, it can distill some of the worry that many of us are feeling. (And keep kiddos busy with creative play!) The camp is for kids of all ages! Yes! That means grown ups too! So!” –Trisha
    • Here’s how to get access:
      • – share this post in your IG stories! (Or any post from my feed) Feel free to let others know that this resource is available!
      • – Be sure to tag me, so I can DM you the code to get in at no cost!
      • – If your account is private, DM me a screen shot!
      • I feel like my heart is exploding today because of all your kindness. Thank you for making this world an amazing place. You better believe I am sending you a massive virtual (virus free) hug!! 🤍

Justin’s parents took the boys to visit Justin’s gravesite on Memorial Day. They shared this video of the boys going around picking up all the flower pots that had fallen over. My heart 😭❤️🥹 had to share #memorialday #memorialdayweekend #lossofalovedone
It was really hard going from living with my paren It was really hard going from living with my parents to then living on my own with the boys. I was terrified of sleeping alone at night. Managing a home. Single parenting. Being alone. 

I find it hard when people say “you’re so strong” like I have some choice in the matter. The way I see it, it’s ether be strong or give up” I don’t see much of a choice. I made a choice to be strong, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t hard and I don’t struggle. It’s the hardest thing I’ve done since Justin has passed away. I’m still struggling, but I keep going. That’s most important! Big milestone today! Living on my own for a year now

It’s another reminder that Justin is gone and then I start to think “if he was here I bet it would be like this..” everything always comes back to him 💔 Marshal did run in around 11am randomly and said “Happy Mothers Day” which was so sweet! So grateful to have my boys though and so happy to be their mom #mothersday #singlemommothersday #singlemom
