Quarantine Recs: Virtual Train Rides

Need something soothing and mindless? Virtual train rides. Initially I found these as a fun thing for my kids to watch and illustrate with water color, but I've found these virtual train rides incredibly relaxing. There are 13 to choose from and most are at least an hour. My personal favorites include the Flam Railway through Norway and the Geibi Line in Japan.

Quarantine Recs for Kids: Wendy Mac Drawing Videos

For those of you quarantining with kids, we've recently discovered Wendy Mac's YouTube channel packed with kid-centric drawing tutorials. Wendy Mac is fresh and funny, engaging, and well-paced for kids to follow along. Once Mo Willems' Lunch Doodles ran out after episode 15, we switched over to Wendy Mac. Her tutorials post live (details on her IG feed), but we rarely do them live, you can find all her content on her YouTube channel. Happy drawing!
