Hi there. How are you holding up? Here in Brooklyn schools are closed and many are working from home, but our small & mighty fulfillment team is still in our Brooklyn HQ taking extreme precautions to keep sending joy to mailboxes everywhere. 

During this crazy time we're offering free standard domestic shipping to make it a little easier to send some much-needed distraction to yourself or loved ones. 

We're also brainstorming ways to add a little virtual joy to  #quarantinelife here and on Instagram. First up: we scoured the Swissmiss archives and dug up tried-and-true DIY activities that we know both kids & kids-at-heart will love doing at home. So, without further ado, here are:
