Adding to this some of the things I’ve done as a parent to prepare for the possibility of staying in. One of the biggest is physical activity—we live in an urban setting and therefore don’t have a big yard where kids can run around.
For now my plan is to use Just Dance videos, a small trampoline, let them go nuts on a tumbling mat we happen to have, and of course play outside in the space that we do have. I also have the #s of all the parents on my block so that we can commiserate and plan.
I’ve also made sure that we have plenty of kids’ pain reliever/fever reducer, stuff they enjoy eating and ART SUPPLIES (no batteries needed!). Also: laundry detergent, shelf-stable milk, baking ingredients, peanut butter, toiletries, hand soap, cleaning supplies, dishwasher pods.
