Most craft ideas are too childish for them. We ordered diamond art and hopefully they’ll like that (thank you to the poster that suggested that!). But I need more ideas of how to keep them busy! Other than baking, biking, reading...

string art but I'm nervous with a toddler at home

and my daughter- 9 years old really likes diamond art. She also asked for water color markers and different colored cardstock, she said they make stuff from that in school.

rainbow loom is another thing she likes but be careful noone is opposite the person making it, don't want in flicking in to anyone's eyes and don't have your kids do I t on their fingers. But I'm a nervouse mother Wink

Have them take Dr. Michael Chighel's awesome course: https://www.chabad.org/multime.....l.htm

There are tons of other entertaining and stimulating online classes. See here: https://www.imamother.com/foru.....85619 - look at the "older kids" section and see if anything appeals to them.

My kids 8 and 12 were doing diamond art for hours today.
They also have been really into the website
artforkidshub.com
(Thank you to the poster who recommended this site last week, it has entertained my kids for hours and hours!!!!)
What about puzzles?

Not sure what you're computer rules are, but typing.com is a good/educational use of time
