I really feel I need to big up Pawprint Family. Upon being furloughed in March with the daunting task of homeschooling a 7 year old with a 3 year old at home, it felt like this was going to be quite a tricky time. Whilst I had the what now seems the luxury of not working whilst full-time parenting I had a lot of hours in the day to fill and we would all get different frustrations.
Homeschooling was tough, I probably did 50% of it due to tantrums and unwillingness to engage, and when there was engagement, being bombed by an impatient three year old. However with Pawprint Family I found activities that I could engage both children with and they both got a badge for their camp blanket at the end of it, which we use when we go in the van and also collect other travel badges for.
There are tons of badges to work towards and each one has a challenge pack, so your child can pick which activities they want to do to achieve the badge. Both of mine have really enjoyed doing this and it has definitely made the lockdown period a much easier and more fun place. And now school has started this has now become a good weekend and half-term go to. Thanks Pawprint Family for preventing me from pulling out my hair for the last 6 months!
