Activities to Entertain Kids and Babies – 8 Great Tips!

Activities to entertain kids and babies are a must for parents. Being a parent is definitely the hardest job out there! Trying to come up with ideas on how to entertain children all day can be challenging, especially during a pandemic as many of us found out. There are some days when you feel like you have it all together and other days when you’re in survival mode and just trying to make it to naps and bedtime.

As such, a lot of advice that new parents receive is advice for the best way to raise specific children who are not their own kids.

Where to find free online math games for kids and adults

Math isn’t a subject that comes easy to many of us, and certainly not for me, personally. The most effective way for me to learn as a kid was by playing math games online. As the years went on, my classmates and I started caring less about the math and more about the games — but that's fine, because we picked up the math along the way.
