While many parents in the U.S. have had their little ones home during normal school for months, many are preparing for their children to continue remote learning into the new school year. In fact, major school districts such as LA and San Diego have already made the decision to go fully-virtual this fall. Even schools that do open up for in-person teaching are likely to have strict social distancing guidelines and the elimination of traditional after-school activities.
To help you out during this time, we rounded up 35 ways to keep your kids entertained and stimulated while learning virtually.
