With schools closed as part of the Movement Control Order (MCO), parents now find themselves in a bit of pickle. While juggling work and house chores, they’ll also have to play the part of a home schooler so that their kids’ education isn’t affected.
Drafting a daily learning plan can be a daunting task for any parent, but thankfully, there’s help. Besides making use of the Internet for easy how-tos, one can also swap ideas with other parents, or turn to books—perfect if you want to cut down on your little one’s screen time.
More than just the usual bedtime stories, there are also activity books that can help with improving their hand-eye coordination, creativity, focus and more. Oh, did we say they’ll also keep your children entertained?
Here are five activity book recommendations (we’re throwing in a promo code for you too!):
