Corona Virus Part 4: Dealing with Boredom

Here in South Korea most things have been shut down for almost a month now. Schools are closed, any large gatherings have been canceled, and people are staying away from coffee shops and restaurants. Most of this is true for the army base, but we are allowed to go to worship services once a week as long as we don't shake hands, socialize too much afterwards, or hold any extra-curricular activities. The stores are also open on the army base, but they have started checking IDs at the door to limit who goes in and out. Movement and temperature checks are still being held at all the gates before we can go it.

So what can you do at home all day with a four year old? This is some of what we've been up to: 

First time flying a kite!

Lots of walks outside in the (almost) spring air. Some trees have baby leaves now!

The house is cleaner than it's ever been.

Final painting of our volcano

Playing at friend's houses

Volcano with paper mache drying

Constructing the volcano

Seeing how white flowers change color in colored water

We check the flowers very regularly!

Playgrounds aren't off limits, but we are careful to sanitize our hands afterwards.

We're on our second time through the whole Peppa Pig series!

Lots of coloring and painting

And LOTS of new books!

A new outside toy!

And some early spring planting. We did sunflowers and peas today.
