A free wellbeing toolkit, originally designed for classroom use, has been adapted so parents can use it at home.
Sparklers is billed as an online toolkit full of fun activities that support the mental health and wellbeing of primary and intermediate students, content creator Anna Mowat saying Sparklers at Home has been designed to support parents in what will be a new and very different-looking school term.
"Term 2 has started, and we know that many parents are feeling a bit overwhelmed at the thought of supporting home learning. To make it a bit easier we've created Sparklers at Home, a website full of wellbeing activities that parents can do with their children in their living room or on their lawn," she said.
"There are currently 23 activities on the site, which we've adjusted so they're easy to do at home. Over time we'll be adding more activities, and a range of other child wellbeing information just for parents."
The activities, she said, were fun and easy to do, and backed by the latest wellbeing science and psychology.
