Activities for rainy days - Clara

-

 Of course, going outside is a very important and entertaining activity to do every day especially during lockdown but on rainy days it can be a struggle to do this. So I am going to introduce you to some at-home crafts that do not require too many materials or any technology. I will also show some channels and sources where you can investigate and find more arts and crafts. 

A fun craft that you have probably not tried before is called paint pour. It is the artwork of mixing colors and letting the paint create art. You grab a cup and add in some colors of your choice, then slightly mix them with a popsicle stick and pour them in whichever manner you like onto your canvas. This can be messy but very fun. It would look something like the picture below :)


Something else you can do to pass time with crafts is to challenge yourself to make artwork out of materials in your house. For example a toilet paper roll, an old shoebox, etc. A channel called five-minute crafts play has a lot of recycled crafts and I will put the link to their channel below.

Another channel that you could investigate to find arts and crafts to do when bored at home is Moriah Elizabeth on youtube. She started a collection of videos with many creative ideas to try. There are many series to this video and she is still working on making even more. She tries things from clay to painting to making things out of recycling. I would definitely recommend taking a look at these series and her channel in general. 

Here is the link to her series called art things to do when you are bored

Screentime During Lockdown-Teuntje

When in lockdown its easy to spend a lot of time behind your screen, obviously we need to be behind our computer for school but we can try and switch between on and off screen when we are free from school. To make sure your eyesight doesn't get worse optometrists recommend that after 20 minutes of screentime you should look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This is the 20-20-20 rule and is a very simple rule to implement into your daily life.  You can also substitute your screentime with other activities, obviously something outdoor such as a walk in a park or some outdoor activities by yourself (or with the amount of friends allowed in your country,) is best option but if the lockdown in your city doesn't allow that there are some other options for you. You can do something indoor such as an art project or an exercise video. Other articles on this blog will also help you with finding activities to do instead of your screen. Although we need to watch out with our screen...
