During the height of the pandemic, it's more important than ever to stay home as much as possible. But we are here to provide fun things to do as the days drag on. This week, indulge in a little fortification, stargazing, and art. As Always: Stay Strong, San Antonio!

Fortify Your Home
A change of scenery could be just what you need! Gather your pillows and blankets to begin changing it yourself. Building a pillow or blanket fort will be fun to build and enjoy after. Pop some popcorn and put on a favorite movie to really top it off! Nothing brings comfort quite like the wonder of a indoor fort.

Starry Eyed
As Vincent Van Gogh said "For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream." Take a moment in this madness to look to the stars, earth's first nighttime entertainment. There is plenty you can see with the naked eye, so there is no need to buy any fancy tools! Research constellations and read the fanciful myths before hand. Then, go outside on a nice clear night and see what you can spot! Avoid light (such as the glow of a cell phone) so your eyes can adjust and see better in the dark. Or, go to settings in your phone and turn on Night Shift, which will use dimmer light, making it easier for the rods in your eyes to adjust quickly. You can even use some apps to help you navigate the stars! To get you started, we've linked a site chocked full of stargazing tips and guides.

A Collage Education
Despite the world at a practical standstill, the junk mail seems to keep piling up. Save room in your recycling bin by using your junk mail to collage! Collaging is a easy and fun project with plenty of room for creativity. All you need is pictures and print (magazines are best, but all junk mail can work!), glue, and something to put it all on, like cardboard or simply another piece of paper. There are so many fun things you can do, at any age!
