For those of us in chutz la'aretz, we're looking at three days straight in our homes (and yards, if we b"H have). No communication with others, no friends for us or kids, no technology. What are your ideas for how to deal and what to do? With younger kids? Older kids? Special needs? If you are completely on your own? (I'm trying to strategize in advance, especially if I want to order anything.)

Can someone give book suggestions? Jewish please. Is there anything available on Kindle or Kindle unlimited for days other than YT?

I was going to post a thread about this.

Special needs is probably a very difficult situation.
In regard to everything else, just read, sleep, eat and relax.

It will probably be more difficult with younger kids. My youngest is 11 and Shabbos has been going well so I think the 3 day YT will be ok too.
We get up and daven together. We learn something together. We prepare and eat the meal, sing songs. Clean up. Play some board games, read our books. We take walks. And B"H we live in a house, not an apartment. We can sit outside and say hello to passers-by from a distance.

I can’t think past today.
Seriously, my brain is on zero visibility.

This is just so sad.

Not sure of the price but that age should like “pretty pretty princess”

My only current strategy is davening and hoping it doesn't rain for my ADHD kid, and for my ASD guy who depends on tech and structure, just davening. But if there's any books or games that could help, I'd love to get them.

Any recs for one person games or 3D puzzles?

I ordered a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle that we can all do together on chol hamoed. With the glue to hold it together. As far as yt goes maybe get the kids some new toys/books. Playmobil, lego etc. Sometimes a cheap set just gets them in the mood of playing with all the rest that they own and never touch. Hatzlocho

I have four boys, ages 4-11. I'm praying for good weather so they can ride bikes, play basketball, go on the trampoline. If we're stuck indoors like we were this Shabbos its going to be tough.

I bought a few new lego sets, a new game (life) and a 300 pc puzzle. There are so many hours to fill in a three day yom tov though! Im davening for patience.

I joined a co-op buy for 50% off Melissa and Doug and I spent quite a bit on some nice afikomen presents which we'll imy"H give to them by the first seder. Hopefully it'll be enough to keep them busy. I got https://www.melissaanddoug.com......html this for my daughter, https://www.melissaanddoug.com......html this for my son although I might get something else for him instead since this might be a problem for Yom Tov and have this for everyone for sharing on chol hamoed and I got this https://www.melissaanddoug.com......html for my toddler.
