Decided to avoid the expense and madness that comes with March Break travel this year? You’re not alone. Many families will embark on a staycation, but you needn’t worry, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy your week at home. There are lots of easy and inexpensive ways to have family fun this March Break.
While it’s still a bit too cold to take the family to the campground, that doesn’t mean you can’t go camping! Setting up ‘camp’ in the living room is a great way to inject overnight fun into March Break. Your fireplace can double as a warm camp fire and a picnic style dinner can be enjoyed by the whole family on the living room floor. Add an extra level of outdoor fun by enlisting the help of Google Sky Map. You simply point your phone/tablet at the sky, and then let Google Sky Map show you the stars, planets, constellations, and more to help you identify the celestial objects in view – just like stargazing at a campsite.
Google Art Project is a fun way to expose your family to cultural exhibits from around the world, all from the comfort of your home. Select a museum from the Google Art Project homepage and then either choose ‘Explore the museum’ or ‘View Artwork’ and within seconds, you and your family can navigate between art and museums from different cities. Create and share your own collections online for an additional element of fun!
Want the kids to think outside the box and get in touch with their creative side over the break? Encourage them to undertake a project that will boost their imagination and get them inspired. YouTube has lots of easy to find and follow DIY craft projects that can lead you and your family through a fun project from start to finish.
Just remember, whether you're working on a fun DIY art project, viewing the stars from home or learning about art, a staycation is about who you’re spending time with – not where.
