What to do with a child during quarantine
What to do with kids During the forced holidays? Endless viewing of cartoons and computer games is clearly not the best option for pastime, and clubs and sports sections are temporarily closed.
So that children do not complain of boredom, parents (many of whom are now forced to work from home) will have to sweat a lot. To cope with this difficult task will help playfulness from "Site".
While adults are busy with their own affairs, we give children ideas that will fascinate them for a long time, enrich them with new impressions and, how to know, instill interest in science and needlework.
Kids love helping their parents in the kitchen, and having a forced vacation is a great time to give them that opportunity.
In addition, experts advise more often to involve children in cleaning the house and on your own example to teach the rules of personal hygiene (how to wash your hands, properly cover your nose and mouth during sneezing or coughing, use an antiseptic).

- Rainbow mucus
Slime, or in the vernacular “lizun”, children use for games or as a funny “anti-stress”. It is pleasant to crumple in hands, it is easy to buy, but it is much more interesting to make with your own hands from improvised means, and how - we will tell later.
For the first recipe, you'll need PVA glue and shaving foam. Pour glue into a suitable dish, add a little foam and mix thoroughly.
If the mass has not thickened to the desired state, then repeat the second step. Then add the dye, take the resulting mass in your hands and start kneading intensively until it looks like a real slide.

We haven’t had much snow this winter, so why not make artificial snow in the kitchen? For such an experiment, you will need very little: baking soda, air conditioning for blonde hair and a bowl.
Mix 3 cups of baking soda with 1/2 cup of hair conditioner.
The resulting snow can be used for games and even make it a cute snowman. And what else, besides snow, can be done with baking soda, we told in one of our articles. - How to paint a picture with candy
Those who like to collect puzzles at leisure or prefer to decorate mandalas, simply did not try to draw with the help of chewable Skittles candy! Show the kids how to do it, and a few quiet evenings are guaranteed!

Homemade marshmallow dough children can stretch, crumple, roll, sculpt and even taste! This is an amazing tool that allows kids to study shapes, experiment with flowers, develop fine motor skills and imagination.

A tornado is a giant air funnel that rotates very quickly and draws in all objects that come in the way. In America, this destructive atmospheric phenomenon is called a tornado, and a small experiment will allow us to create its visual model in miniature.
You will need water, a glass jar, a teaspoon of dishes, a few drops of dye and vinegar. Mix all the ingredients in the jar, cover it and spin until a tornado forms. - Playing with colored foam

Sidewalk chalk is quite easy to do. You only need a few ingredients: a cardboard tube from toilet paper, water, plaster and dye. Mix the cast and water, add the dye.
Pour the plaster mixture into a tube with a taped end. If you use silicone molds, you can make crayons of a variety of shapes and colors. - Hoop and sheet tent
The game tent is a universal subject. It can be a reading corner, a place to sleep, a camping area, a carnival tent, a royal palace, an Indian hut, a rocket ship, or whatever kids want at that moment.
To create it, you will need a sports plastic hoop, 11 meters of nylon cord, a fastening hook and 2 shower curtains. Four holes were drilled in the hoop at the same distance from each other.
Cut 1 meter of cord and cut the rest into 4 equal parts. Put them in the holes on the hoop and tie all 8 ends together. Run one piece of cord through all the holes in the two shower curtains and pull them together. It remains to pass the cords of the hoop together through the ring connecting the curtains, and fix them on the hook in the ceiling.
Kids love helping their parents in the kitchen, and having a forced vacation is a great time to give them that opportunity.
In addition, experts advise more often to involve children in cleaning the house and on your own example to teach the rules of personal hygiene (how to wash your hands, properly cover your nose and mouth during sneezing or coughing, use an antiseptic).
