Already not sure what to do with yourself or your family during this time? Check below for 10 ways to be creative and faithful in your time “stuck” at home! Most are great for the whole family, or just you!

(This will be updated with more links as I go! Please note, some of these may be affiliate links, but I am only recommending things that I have done/read personally!)

Make a Prayer Ring! You KNOW I love to make these prayer rings! Check out my playlist on YouTube for several different ideas!
Catch up on devotionals/books/faithful classes you’re behind on! What a great time to read/go through all of the devotionals you’ve printed/haven’t finished! All caught up? Try a new devotional series!

Creative Faith Co: Hillary has a TON of free devotionals and bible studies, but also some REALLY awesome ones that come with printables. Support her, she’s amazing!

Make a quarantine notebook/journal! Grab a simple composition notebook or a stack of blank papers and a binder and journal your feelings out! Decorate if you want, or just …. write! Here’s one of my favorite pinterest boards to collect ideas to for this kind of journal/smash book/junk journal : https://pin.it/5n6bTSS
Note: this would be a great idea for everyone in the family– give everyone their own notebook to write out feelings and thoughts during this time!
Take some classes! Lots of artists and museums are doing “lives” on their facebook pages FOR FREE! Or, if you want to support artists and creators (yes, yes, yes, please do!) purchase a class!
