Have you tried exploring online children's programs with your son -- and online museum visits for yourself? Many of those are accessible for free at the moment. Also, in case you haven't seen this, Audible is making a lot of its audiobooks (organized by age group and recording language) available for free during the crisis: https://stories.audible.com/discovery

These are tough times for all of us, particularly those with children -- especially active kids who'd much rather be outdoors than stuck inside! :(

As TA recommends, a lot of online activities are free at the moment to help parents and kids to beat the boredom. (I don't know if this is any help to you as it's a UK site, but these are some that are available over here - https://skintdad.co.uk/free-online-classes-for-kids/?fbclid=IwAR15obKW70sYtMWUgWRix07Gloa0hLBepYKcNNrxQ_pX2erXuEF_BRlHk6A ).

The Joe Wicks PE thing is a massive success with kids ... and adults, too. ;)

Thanks. Strangely enough, though my kids are really a bit too young to learn new languages, they have shown quite a bit of interest in English and for some reason, Spanish. :) I'll check out the link and see how they like it.
No sure how old your son is but my children are loving Lunch Doodles with Mo Willems. Even if they don't following along with his drawing, they love to sit and listen to him. He has a very calming presence. I second the Joe Wicks. I've recently discovered him. There is also an app out there called GoNoodle. There are interactive videos. They tend to be shorter. We use them all the time when I work in preschool classrooms. I'm trying to think of a few other things but I'm guessing my children are a little older than yours. It's been a little bit since I've had to watch their every move.

My twins are four. I'll check out your suggestions. I need all the help I can get. :) I only need to watch my son, though. My daughter seems at least a year older.
My twins will be 8 in a couple of weeks. I would try the GoNoodle for sure. There are a lot of things geared towards younger kids. I know lots of craft projects for the younger set but they are all messy.

Sounds good. :)
