What's Open in Coronavirus Shutdown: Story Walks, Hikes, Art You Can Do While Social Distancing
Submitted by Lucie T on
Family life as we know it has changed dramatically in the past week, and those of us with restless children are definitely feeling the stress (and in some cases, boredom) of it all. Be sure to check out our Coronavirus Guide for Parents, which we have filled with hundreds of activities and ideas to try out with the kids. With everyone housebound and turning to the Internet, there is also an abundance of quality virtual experiences worth streaming and some cool podcasts kids will love.
However, many of us could use some fresh ideas for getting outdoors while social distancing, or connecting to the outside world in screen-free ways. We have some ideas for safe and meaningful family time, from playing a hide-and-seek game with spring "bunnies" in Walpole to picking up take-out art supplies in Wellesley. Please check in with these spots and with local restrictions before heading out, and remember to observe social distancing guidelines of keeping yourself (and kids) 6 feet away from non-family members. Have fun—and hang in there!
