Corona Break for Kids
By the time we all get through this quarantine period and state of
emergency we all may be quite crazy so I thought I would make a list of things
more for you to do with the kids to make it fun.
I know every kid loves slime right so here is a recipe for slime the
kids will truly love and they can eat it!
1 cup Gummy bears
3 Tablespoons Corn flour
food coloring (optional)
4 tablespoons icing sugar
2-3 Tablespoons icing sugar (extra for your hands)
Place the gummy bears into a bowl with the corn flour and microwave for
30 seconds then stir, microwave for another 30 seconds, stir and then put it in
for another minute until you see it bubble right up. Stir in food coloring and
LEAVE TO COOL (caution sugar gets very hot).
Knead in the icing sugar
This gummy bear slime is super stretchy and really fun to play with but
a little sticky, you will need to use some extra icing sugar on your hands to
stop it sticking to your fingers. Recipe by Ann Reardon
How about making a chalk board for the kitchen. All you need is any
color of acrylic paint and some Plaster of Paris and a bit of water and a board
of any size.
Mix just small amounts because it dries fast.
2 Tablespoons of Plaster of Paris
1 Tablespoon of water
Mix well
Add 3 Tablespoons of paint and mix well.
You will need to paint at least three coats to cover the board. Let dry
a few hours.
To make the chalk work well on the board lightly coat the painted board
with chalk then wipe with a clean wet cloth. Now your kids will have a blast
playing school right at home. (What’supmom.com)
How about make a batch of caramel popcorn and watch kid’s choice movie
together. Or you can make my favorite chocolate popcorn. This is an easy recipe just make a
batch of chocolate fudge and pour it over the popcorn and stir well.
Have a drawing contest. See how well you can draw a picture without
picking up you pencil. This will gets some giggles I am sure.
Have the kids plant an herb garden using a few cans or start a small
garden in the backyard. Use the chalk paint to label your herb cans.
Make a crescent pizza ring for a change from traditional.
Unroll your rolls and place them in a circle with the points on the
outer edge of a cookie sheet. Spread your favorite pizza sauce over the
crescent rolls and add your choice of pizza treats, then take the thin ends and
tuck it over the top of all the filling. Brush over with garlic butter and
bake. You can do the same thing to make tacos. Just turns it into a circle of
fun.
Paint rocks then place them in your garden or give them as gifts.
If you are worried about kids falling behind in class you can use the Khan
Academy program to improve on their weaknesses. khan academy
How about star gazing. Can you show your kids where they can find
certain star clusters it may be a treat for them that they will learn more
about as time goes by? Check out my blog on stars from earlier this month for more
information.
Make a kaleidoscope here is a cool video link to make your own. kaleidoscope with no mirrors The kids
will have hours of fun watching the color patterns.
Make a doll house out of found things around the house.
Go out and see if you can do cartwheels with the kids if you are brave
enough. I can still do them lol. Play kick ball. Play catch.
Well I hope this will get you started. I know I will be doing a lot of
these things with my g kid. Stay healthy have fun and enjoy family activities
together. Keep them hands washed.

being wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more so
will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those asking him!
