I know that most of you are probably seeing these things but I wanted to set apart a thread just for the purpose of providing information for virtual ideas for children who are socially distancing at home for a number of weeks. Also check with your local library systems for virtual programs and services in your area.

I'll update as I discover new experiences. Please feel free to do the same and create a little menu for children who are home bound.

I kept my date with Fiona live today. In a word--wonderful! Highly recommend even for adults for a much needed mental escape. I've been following Fiona since she was born. If you don't know who she is, visit the Facebook page and let her journey of life cheer you!
