For the “First Time in Forever,” normal life and every Disney Park on Earth is temporarily suspended or closed. Society norms are altered for the time being, but pandemics have occurred throughout history and humanity has persevered. We will get through this!
In the meantime, Social Distancing and Staying at Home are our best options. A checklist of chores, work, cleaning, cooking, school work, video conferences, deep cleaning, movie nights, and mealtimes seems to run our lives. Now many parents are attempting home schooling for the first time too or helping their children adapt to distance learning.
Thankfully, some of our favorite entertainment companies and educational resources are introducing fun, interactive STEAM learning programs and activities you can do at home. And for FREE too!
