Wow what a strange time this is! Activities are cancelled, everyone is trying to stay home as much as possible and many of us have taken our kids out of childcare and school. I have pulled this list together to help give you some new ideas for activities you can do at home - thanks to our wonderful Monkey Tree community who shared their favourite Instagram accounts with us!
Let's all help each other out during this weird time - make sure you stay in touch with loved ones and keep up to date with information from trusted sources (without getting overwhelmed and panicked). The best places to get your information about social distancing and COVID-19 updates is from www.health.gov.au or your local state government website (I work in public health in my other life so know that these are the best sources!)
