CORONA CRAZY…of course you are. Schools are closed which means that precious 8-3 alone time that you had to yourself, whether at home or work, is now gone.

The little rascals are with you 24/7 and worse than that, it was thrust upon you in a weekend! No time to plan! No time to mentally get ready much less logistically.

You now are the only teacher of your brood, and you are staging a one room schoolhouse of all ages. Teachers have 30 in a class, but hey...those kids are all the same age and teachers have time to plan, don’t they?

This isn’t fun!

Want some help? You didn’t think I’d leave you stranded, did you? Of course not.

After 40+ years of teaching, I thought I’d step in and make a few videos of suggested kids’ activities for you. In my field, these are only going to strengthen your kids’ (and your) Creative Thinking skills and make all of you better problem solvers.

You may have already seen my Corona-Creative videos on Instagram (kimzabbia.artist) or Facebook (Kim Howes Zabbia Artist), and viewers have been sharing them, I’m sure, out of their desire to feel that at least they are helping other desperate parents in the same situation.

The activities are centered around one simple topic and give you ideas to explore that topic using Dance, Music, Writing and Art... the creative outlets that kids of all ages love.

If you missed these videos because you are one of the five or six people NOT on one of these social media sites, you can catch them on my YouTube channel.

Too, go to the Think Tank section of this website and print out each day’s lesson for later. Feel free to share them with any parent or teacher you know and be sure to tell them that they are FREE!

Do your part to help these poor parents make it through this pandemic with a bit of sanity left over.

Here are the topics so far but keep an eye out for new ones each week or until this steep curve flattens enough to get all of us back to normal.

DAY 2: CORONA-CREATIVE: TEXTURE
DAY 3: CORONA-CREATIVE: LINE
