For days when you’re stuck inside, every parent needs a good set of screen-free activities that kids can do on their own.

As a mom of 5, these activities help function as a tool to give me a break so that I can quick throw in another load of laundry, keep some kids busy while I present a homeschool lesson to another child, or just give me a break from the millions of questions kids ask all day long. (Honestly, they are non-stop!)

While you know we love games around here, I want to share with you a few of my favorite solo logic and puzzle activities that help this stay-at-home mom make it through the day in case you find yourself in need of a few “mom-not-required” activities.
