Activities for When You’re Tired
As you listen to the music, encourage your kids to engage in relaxing, quiet activities like:
- Babies and toddlers: Sensory exploration with soft objects in a bin. Really, just grab some soft things from around your house like cotton balls, fuzzy socks, small stuffed animals, washcloths, and throw them into a bin for your little one.
- Preschool and Early Elementary Age: Fine motor activities like these are great quiet-time activities for kids.
- Middle School Age and Older: Print off some intricate coloring pages from this site. Bonus, coloring pages are also a great tool to help calm and focus your mind when you’re feeling anxious.
