Cold season is just around the corner. Those words send fear through the hearts of many moms. Just when it seems like your child is settling into a school routine – BAM – they get hit by a cold. I was surprised to learn from the CDC that school aged kids get between 8-12 colds a year. When that happens kids often stay home from school. That leaves us moms scrambling to try and find something for them to do at home. I am sharing 10 Sick Day Activities that your child can do when they are feeling under the weather. This is a product-provided, sponsored conversation that contains affiliate links. However, all opinions, text and experiences about Dr. Cocoa™ for Children and 10 Sick Day Activities are my own.
