It's a crazy time and it feels like we’re all bored in the house and we’re in the house bored. So, here are a few awesome free resources to help add a little more fun to your day:

  • Activity Pages: These 42 printable pages of fun are equal parts entertaining, existential, and just plain old fun. Perfect for when you need a break from staring at emails or scrolling through Insta.

  • Bake: This 4-ingredient bread recipe is basically fool-proof. Here are also 22 five-minute dessert ideas (the nutella cookie is HEAVEN). You can also bring the Disneyland magic home and whip up your own Disney Park churro bites!

  • Get a Workout In: Active by PopSugar for hundreds of free classes (the HIIT ones are amazing!), CorePower Yoga and Daily Burn. ClassPass also has over 2,000 free videos available that cover everything from boxing to barre - just download the app and create an account to access them.

  • Harry Potter-Everything: JK Rowling launched a brand new Harry Potter at Home site and it’s really fueling my love for the wizarding world right now. This hub brings Hogwarts to you and even includes Daniel Radcliffe reading the first chapter of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone here, eep!

  • Have a Broadway Singalong: Watch these 15 musicals from home.

  • Live Stream All the Animals: These are bringing me so much joy right now. Watch pandas at the National Zoo in Washington, penguins at the Edinburgh Zoo, and beluga whales at the Georgia Aquarium.

  • Live Stream the Northern Lights: Tune in to one of the world’s most magical natural wonders. Watch the aurora borealis generally from 10pm to 4am EST.

  • Listen to a Podcast: There are so many good ones out there no matter what you’re looking for. One of my favorite ones for actors is Audrey Helps Actors by Audrey Moore. I will also forever be obsessed with season 1 of the Serial podcast by Sarah Koenig. The way she dives into the case of Adnan Syed is brilliant and incredibly compelling.

  • Meditation: Get your om on with the Calm App, Headspace App, Daily Meditation Podcast, and Nature Sounds on Spotify.

  • Netflix Binge: Here are the 100 best movies on Netflix right now.

  • Take a Free Ivy League Course: There are over 450 free ones on Class Central from amazing schools like Yale University, Harvard University and Princeton University.

  • Ted Talk Time: Here are the most popular TED Talks under 12 minutes
