This tiny virus is so famous and scary right now, right?
So I decided to make tiny amigurumi version of this virus,
to help me explain and educate my kids.
I myself have 2 kids, age 3 and 5. Everyday is a challenge between asking them
to wash their hands with soap, stop touching their own faces, explaining
over and over again why we can't go out, etc, etc, etc :p
After explaining to them using this amigurumi, at least now they always remember to wash their hands haha. One problem gone, small win matters :p
I hope this coronavirus amigurumi can help you educate and explaining about this global pandemic for your young kids. I know something unseen can be a little hard to explain.
Also crocheting is good for helping you to relax in this stressful time, don't you think?
So please stay at home and let's make this tiny viruses!
