Five Things for Today: April 15, 2020

While we can’t go to the Hirshhorn, they’re bringing art to us


1. The Hirshhorn has introduced #HirshhornInsideOut, a way to experience the art museum while their doors are temporarily closed. This includes art prompts for all ages, like an online version of their Maker sessions, and creative ideas for kids at home — all that relate to their exhibits and pieces from the collections.

2. Check out this new Where’s Waldo-themed web portal with activities for quarantining families like downloadable activity sheets and fun videos. #FindWaldoAtHome will also be launching this week as well — families can follow Candlewick Press social media accounts for prompts to hide Waldo in various locations at home or doing common activities, then share photos of them.

3. It may be awhile before we can pitch a tent in the great outdoors, so why not do some camping indoors instead? REI has some great ideas for doing just that.

4. Brightest Young Things shared a great spreadsheet of local businesses that are shipping, so you can shop and support them from home.

5. A message of hope ❤️

    I just want to say this blog is appreciated so much. This has always been my first stop to checking out events on the weekends with my kids (5 and .75 now) and now I look forward to your daily emails which give me ideas to do with the kiddos as we’re inside. Thank you so much!
