To keep social ties with family or friends, send them drawings, letters or postcards. To avoid the risks of transmission of the coronavirus, prefer to send your children's creations virtually.

It's a good time to make a star : prepare a theater performance, a concert hall and dress up to present it to the whole family by video. Bonus : you can do a new show every day during and even after confinement !
- Make your own board game
Board games are starting to be out of stock so create your own, either with existing rules or with your own rules. the possibilities are limitless !
- Make a cabin with blankets and pillows
Who has never wanted to build their own castle, their own house or their own cabin? There's nothing more fun than looking around the house for something to build : cushion, pillow, chair, blanket, everything becomes great construction material !
- Have a picnic
Attention, it is forbidden to go outside without valid reason ! But this is not a reason not to have a picnic. The garden is for example an option that we recommend : practical, easy and effective to guarantee moments of conviviality. If you do not have a garden, open the window wide, let the sun come into your living room, install a picnic blanket and make your best sandwiches, we are sure that your children will love helping you.
- Turn everything upside down with cans
The children will certainly not be going to a fair this year so keep your cans and create a small activity as if they were there.
