One of the things that we have been doing to pass the time in our house is some of the free online painting classes that are available through Facebook. If you’re looking for something new to do with the family, this may be something to add to your list of activities.

Things To Keep In Mind
- Prepping all of your paints, napkins, water etc beforehand is super helpful. Some have lists of what you need some tell you in the video.
- There may be times where you will need to stop or even rewind to ensure you’re doing all of the steps. Don’t try to keep up, it’s stressful!
- While these are free online classes, some of them do give the option to send a tip/donation, if you feel inclined.
