The Flying Squid Challenge!

Dear Wonderful Squids,

The Flying Squid team wishes that you and your little squids are all safe and making the best out of this overwhelming time. During the global Covid-19 pandemic, the Flying Squid team wants to show you some quick and fun activities to do with your kids at home to help lighten the spirits of everyone who is practicing social distancing with children.

Our goal is to add a little intermission, a pause, in our daily struggle, to briefly focus on our children, and create the expectation of a daily activity challenge where we can all relax, act silly, and bond together during these strange and scary times.

What is the Flying Squid Challenge?

It is the challenge that all of us, the squid parents, must do to introduce a little pause in our busy, everyday lives: to reflect and enjoy five minutes of our time just playing with our squids without having to worry about work, dinner or homework. That is the true Flying Squid Challenge! To set aside time every day with no excuse.

To help with this challenge, from Wednesday, April 22nd onwards, we’ll be posting one fun activity per day for the next 30 days.

A few activities will be a bit challenging, but most of them are, as our hero the Flying Squid likes to say, “as easy as swimming in the ocean.”

Feel free to share these challenges on your social networks, so that as many families as possible can enjoy these goofy activities for kids and parents. Also, share photos of your family having fun and please use the hashtag #TheFlyingSquidChallenge.
