This pandemic has brought other countries of the world into scary light for our kids. Our next port of call is Italy ... and what a beacon they have been! Put on some music (opera, Pavarotti, Dean Martin), practice the beautifully lyrical language (Buonasera, Arrivederci, Ciao Bella), show them Ancient Rome, the amazing artists and architecture, the cars (for the boys), cook the food (pizza and pasta - YUM!!!), show them some of the uplifting footage of the COVID crisis coming from Italy. For crafts, dye your own pasta and make wonderful mosaics, paint with spaghetti, make gladiators in the Colosseum, make paper plate pizzas (and sweet yummy ones from Marie biscuits or flapjacks), redo a masterpiece like the Mona Lisa ###
