With kids out of school for the unforeseeable future, it is time for us South Dakotans to get creative in keeping our kids happy, healthy, educated, and entertained! While you could always plop your kid in front of the TV for a PBS marathon (which we advise against), there are other fun and easy activities that you can try, including:
If you don't mind setting your child in front of a screen for a short amount of time, check out the Black Hills Studios of the Arts on Facebook. While in-person music lessons are currently limited, they are hosting daily activities on Facebook, including sing-alongs, storytime, online dance parties, and more.
How are our favorite recipes passed down from generation to generation? By teaching our children to make them, of course! Take this time at home to teach your kids how to cook like their ancestors, and make South Dakota classics like kolache, kuchen, Frybread, and Chislic. Yum!
