Mia wants you to make art at home. They've provided online art instruction, guides to the museum's exhibits, and more. Try this one: Watercolor Resist Painting. You'll need a white crayon or oil pastel, any kind of paper (even just a scrap!), watercolor paints, paint brush and a container with water. You're ready to get started! Click here for the instructional video from Mia.
Practice Yoga
Yoga is a great indoors activity for relieving stress, releasing energy and stre-e-etching your stiff muscles after being inside for weeks! Attend your virtual YMCA with Y360's free fitness videos, including kids' yoga.

We have put together an online resource guide for families navigating COVID-19. On our website, find resources for food, employment and mental health, as well as educational activities, games, art projects, virtual tours, science projects and more for your kids to stay busy while at home. In addition, for the duration of the nationwide response to the pandemic, CIC will send weekly newsletters featuring different resources for your families.
Free Meals for Families
All YMCA branches have family food boxes available for pick-up, Monday – Friday, 8:30-5:00. Families can walk right up and take as many bags as they need. Some branches have the food boxes inside the front door and some have it outside on the sidewalk in front of their doors. Find the YMCA location closest to you.
