Mommy Poppins -- The past few weeks have been marked by uncertainty as we continue to deal with the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. Parents are faced with working from home, entertaining children with something other than Frozen 2, and maintaining some form of normality in the family schedule. We have now stocked our event calendar with virtual activities and events from all over the world. In the wake of families being urged to avoid groups and stay close to home, something really cool has happened: artists, singers, and museums from every corner of the world are creating awesome events like story hours, digital tours, and performances—allowing families to stay engaged despite being homebound and discover new favorite activities and music... and we are loving it.
We've also been busy—creating an exciting new feature for these unusual times, called Poppins@Home. Watching all our favorite kid spots closing their doors, we immediately realized that not only were families going to lose out on being able to get out to museums, play spaces, gymnastics classes, and more, but all these businesses were going to be in hot water. So for the past week, in addition to working on our Coronavirus Guide for Parents and switching over all our content to be about things to do at home like 63 Easy Science Experiments for Kids Using Household Stuff and 21 (Mostly FREE) Online Learning Resources, Apps, and Games for Kids, we've also been building a whole new platform for virtual classes and programming.
You can get an early look at Poppins@Home now. We're still working hard to add lots more content on it and inviting our favorite kids' programming providers to join in, too. So stay tuned for even more. And, since we worked fast and furious on it, if you find any issues using the site please let us know. Or if you know businesses who should be on there, please send them the link. 
Stay safe, have fun, and tune in to all the great things we've found for families to do in this new virtual world. We will continue to update this post as the situation evolves and more events become available. 
And do get outdoors if you can. Sunlight just might be the best disinfectant, and we hear spring is due to arrive this week.
