March 19, 2020: With the COVID-19 quarantine, we had finally got the much-needed family time at home that we used to crave for and wait for the weekends, especially in our hectic work schedules. The shutdown of malls, theatres, restaurants and schools, most of us are working from home because of the Corona Virus pandemic. To sail through the health crisis across the world, we have cheerfully replaced FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) with JOMO (Joy Of Missing Out) and making the most of the self-isolation phase. And B-town celebrities are no different!
Yesterday, we had shared how Ayushmann Khurrana and Tahira Kashyap Khurrana had figured out a way to keep their kids, Virajveer Khurrana and Varushka Khurrana occupied amidst the COVID-19 quarantine. Today, let us give you a glimpse of how second-time newbie mommy, Shilpa Shetty Kundra is keeping her firstborn, Viaan Raj Kundra engaged at home, during this ‘unplanned’ break from school.
Answering the million-dollar question, "How do I keep my child occupied?!" dominating every parent’s mind amidst the COVID-19 quarantine, Shilpa Shetty Kundra posted a video with her son, Viaan Raj Kundra. The mother-son duo could be seen indulged in a tie and dye session at home and Shilpa captioned her video as “"How do I keep my child occupied?!" is the million dollar question playing on every parent’s mind right now. This ’unplanned’ break has to be endured, since it can’t be cured. We try planning a few hours of interesting activities in a day for our kids, but what do you do when you hear, "Mommy, I’m bored!!" and you DON’T want to give them the iPad!”
Sharing that one has to think of out-of-the-box methods to keep children busy amidst the Corona Virus outbreak, Shilpa Shetty Kundra continued, “Take it from me, tearing your hair out isn’t going to help as much as you’d think it would. You have to put on your thinking caps, aiming to make the most of this time together. So, you invent, innovate, and come up with something as it’s a DO OR “DYE” situation.. that’ll keep them busy and you happy. Today’s bonding session with Viaan happened with some tie-&-dye activity at home, with a special appearance by Simba! (Who nearly got her tail dyed).”
Revealing that the t-shirts they are wearing in the video are also made by them during one of their previous tie and dye sessions and what are the things required to do the same at home, Shilpa Shetty Kundra shared, “By the way, the t-shirts we’re wearing were also made during one of our previous sessions. How are you keeping up with your kids’ daily activities? Let me know and do share ideas with me. This was great fun. A must try. Things required: A pair of gloves | White t-shirt | Permanent safe colour (dye) Method: 1. Twist and tie the t-shirts with rubber band at a 3-inch distance 2. Pour the colour, keep it in the sun for 12/20 hrs, and open #EveryDayIsSonDay #staysafe #stayhome #creativity #mommyandson #SwasthRahoMastRaho.”
