If your children have finished all their school work and are now cruising the house looking for ways to bomb your next Zoom call (nothing says professional working from home like a child appearing in shot clad in just a pair of undies and a superman cape), then try these great links to keep them entertained.
From taking doing some volunteer work in Kenya from your sofa through to learning from a palaeontologist, or watching a short pantomime, Stratford Press editor Ilona Hanne has collated a list of some great websites for you and your children to enjoy from the comfort of your living room.
Just because we are all stuck at home, doesn't mean we can't be volunteers. Older children, and adults, might enjoy helping Wildwatch Kenya with their work identifying types of wildlife in a conservation area there. Volunteers worldwide are helping Wildwatch Kenya by looking at photographs captured from a network of 100 motion-activated trail cameras, which automatically take photos of animals as they pass by them. The site is easy to navigate, and don't worry if you don't think you can tell your bok from your buffalo, the site is set up to help you. You can click on tabs offering help with identifying the different shapes of antlers, etc, on various animal to help narrow down what the animal might be. Give it a try, and don't be surprised if suddenly three hours have gone by while you nature watch and help a great cause at the same time.
