Safe inside with kids during coronavirus (COVID-19) social distancing? But at your wit's end? Here are five fun things to do to pass some of that time with your kids and your pets:

  1. Pamper Yourself, Your Kids and Your Pets: Nothing feels better than a warm bath, brushing your hair and getting ready for bed early.
  2. Cook Dinner and Do the Dishes Together: Who says your pets can't join the fun?
  3. Play a Game of Follow the Leader Through the Living Room: Kids, parents and pets are encouraged to participate.
  4. Work on a Puzzle Together: Puzzles are a great way to collaborate and work as a team.
  5. Snuggle Up With a Pile of Books: Whether reading alone or with your pet, it is special. Research shows that kids who read in the presence of a dog may experience increased motivation toward mastering their reading skills.
