Relax & Socialize
Timber
Feeling lonely? Why not match up with a TREE and have a chat!
Yeah, we know its an ad- but they did a real great job, and it can kill some time if you're bored.
Take a Hike (Virtually)
Craving the outdoors? There's still ways to experience the deep blues of Lake Moraine in Canada, or the beautiful mountains in Switzerland... and you dont need to pack anything!
Plant some Flowers (For the Bees!)
As part of their Save the Bees campaign, Cherrios is still giving out FREE flower seeds. Its a great time to claim them and become a flower parent.
