Social isolation due to covid-19 , kids being at home , work from home option and no helps has put me in kitchen for longer hours. Most of my time goes in kitchen for making extra snacks , coffee and tea , apart from cooking main meals. Hence making sweets and snacks these days just because everyone are at home and my kiddo asks for snack all time.

Keeping my 5 year old engage for whole day inside the house has become a real task for me. I am involving him in my cooking activity and educate him about COVID , importance of isolation and sanitization measures . Also most importantly explaining him the importance of eating right to build immunity has become my routine. In fact I’m enforcing him to eat right but with a different approach , luckily its working 🙂 Well , do share your thoughts on how you are keeping your kids engaged at home during covid-19 lock down ?
