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.

Of course fun activities alone won’t help relieve your child’s symptoms. For that, I turn to Dr. Cocoa™ for Children line of cough and cold medicines. Dr. Cocoa™ for Children is the first-ever cough and cold medicine for kids with patented formulas combining trusted, effective ingredients with 10% real cocoa for great chocolate taste to make giving medicine to kids easier. Where was this stuff when I was a kid and choking down awful tasting medicine? You can check out Dr. Cocoa™ on Facebook and learn more about their line of products. Dr. Cocoa products are FDA regulated medicines and should be used only as directed and kept safely out of reach of children.
