Make Every Day at Home an Adventure

Okay, so usually we’re all about inspiring family getaways and sparking curiosity from the world around us ... BUT, it looks like things will be a little different for the time being. While we’re all adjusting to the “new normal” of school and daycare closures, remote work, and pressing pause on playdates, we wanted to offer some tips to keep your family’s sense of adventure thriving.

Can’t see the sights in person? Enjoy them virtually. 

Check out these virtual field trips to explore the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, visit Old Faithful, experience a taste of Mars, or even say hi to pandas!

• Tour these iconic museums from around the world. 
• Visit Old Faithful, Mammoth Hot Springs, and more with a virtual tour of the park.
• Fly to Mars with NASA’s Curiosity Rover!
• Have fun with an interactive tour, videos, activities, and games available on the San Diego Zoo website. You can also hangout with the pandas on Zoo Atlanta's Panda Cam and swim with the beluga whales at the Georgia Aquarium. 

Bring the world to your living room.

This might also be the perfect time to try a new language with your kiddos. PBS offers online video lessons for all grade levels in Spanish, Japanese, French, German, and Chinese. If you’re looking to add some musical fun to your Spanish lesson, check out Basho & Friends – they’re offering free access through the 2020 school year!

Scholastic has you covered with their awesome learn at home curriculum that will keep your tiny humans thinking and growing.

Stay active!

This one’s important. Keep your junior humans (and you) moving with a math and fitness lesson, or family walks around the block!

While it feels like a curve ball has been thrown into our everyday lives, remember, we're all in this together. We encourage you to check in on loved ones and take all the safety measures needed to stay healthy during this time!
