The last few weeks have been a struggle for us due to stormy weather and a bit of good old-fashioned quarantining. It’s really essential to get some outside play time to really let Little Guy use up his energy, have fun, and run around. But, these days, we’ve had to find indoor solutions to keep him engaged.
My recent series of 놀이터 (no-ri-teo) Playground Phrases on Caregiver Corner were perfect for pivoting into some at home activities. Each post featured the Korean vocabulary for playground equipment and some related commonly used phrases. Here they are in one convenient location.

There’s also a new item in my shop, an activity set! Each set includes an oversized (11″x17″) coloring page, a sticker sheet, and the inside of the packaging has a special caregiver card featuring some of the phrases above. While you color you’ll find lots to explore and discuss (in Korean.) I’m really excited about this set and I hope you’ll love it as much as I do!
