Do your kids wake up and go straight to TV time or tablets in the morning" There’s nothing wrong with liberal amounts of screen-time (especially when we’re all home indefinitely and everything is closed), but sometimes you want to attempt to keep them busy and engaged without adding to their eye-popping screen-time totals.

Here are five ideas to keep kids busy (and learning) while you get a chance to drink your morning coffee in peace.
