When your child is at home with a Cold or the Flu!

My daughter is sick today and is staying home from school.  It is nothing serious just a yucky head cold.  My kids get sick; there is no question about that.  They seem to get sick more than the adults, especially during the colder months.  Have you noticed that when they are at home sick they seem to get bored quickly.  They don’t have the energy to run around and they don’t seem to like the idea of sleeping all day.  So how do we entertain them all day? 

I like to make the kids feel really comfy when they are at home sick.  They have a constant supply of yummy warm food and snacks.   It is a great time for them to read a book, catch up on some homework and maybe watch a DVD.  I would love to hear your tips for entertaining your kids when they are at home sick.
