Where drawing is an easy home activity, painting can sometimes seem daunting. By the time you've got all of the supplies out, covered your floor or table in newspaper, and changed your child into clothes that are OK to get dirty, you're exhausted. But with all this free time, painting can be really therapeutic. Set your child up outside or on an easily wiped floor with a large piece of paper and some watercolors or crayons, and let them explore their artistic side. If they need a jumping off point, there are tons of free virtual drawing classes for kids on YouTube right now.
