Minnesota’s stay-at-home order has been extended through most of May, but your family can still have a fun and fulfilling month! Use our bingo card as inspiration to stay active in the community and connected to those around you during the month of May.

Schools are out and families are sheltering-in, but that doesn’t mean we can’t keep having fun! Here’s a calendar of fun activities for your family to enjoy at home during the month of April.

Special thanks to local blogger mom Ashley at Everybody’s Fed, Nobody’s Dead for collaborating with me on this list!
