Kidspot.com.au has launched Kids @ home, an online series aimed at supporting families with indoor entertainment and education sessions available Monday to Friday at 10.00am AEST.
The Kids @ home series is designed to support families by giving them practical advice and ideas centred on activity-based learning to help parents who are spending more time at home.
The free weekday series ranges from workouts to craft and cooking activities which can be done by the whole family.
Kidspot.com.au executive editor Melissa Wilson said: “We are navigating difficult times right now and parents are facing the unique pressures of ensuring their little ones are well cared for, home schooled and entertained while continuing to juggle daily life and even work from home.
“We may have started off with the best of intentions, maybe even invested in some hobbies to spend isolation time wisely, but at the end of the day we’re emotionally drained and can’t quite get to the peak level of creative and active parent that we imagined.
“This is why we’ve created Kids @ home, to support families over the coming weeks with a range of activities to do in the kitchen, some to coax out creativity and some to burn off the extra energy and stay active. The sessions are designed for parents to do with the kids, or sit back and watch while they have some fun.”
