Now’s a great time for families to slow down, relax, and spend some quality time together. Here’s a list of a few ideas to get you started.
Cook
Cooking is a fun (and sometimes messy!) family activity. Whether you’re preparing a whole meal or just baking cookies, it’s time together that will create lasting memories for you and your children. Here’s a few delicious recipes for you to try.

Have a Movie Night (or day!)

Put on a Talent Show
From playing an instrument, to singing, to reciting a poem, to performing magic tricks-everyone has some kind of talent. Have everyone in the family practice and perform their favorite talent. Make it a big, special production!
