Do a green activity together

Sowing, caring for things, and watching something sprout has a calming kind of magic to it. If the outdoor space is smaller, vertical gardening can work surprisingly well. Read here how gardening can help you unwind, and how to build an edible garden step by step.

And if you’d rather keep it indoors, making a Kokedama together is creative. A bit fiddly, but that’s exactly why it’s so fun.
