Take a Cue From Rapunzel On Activities You Can Do At Home To Keep Busy

If you know Rapunzel’s story, you know that she had to entertain herself a lot up high in that tower, and through her song When Will My Life Begin, she gives us a glimpse of her daily routine. She manages to keep herself pretty busy.

Just like all of us right now, Rapunzel couldn’t wait to be able to go outside and see the world, but she still managed to occupy her time with some fun activities while she waited for her life begin; reading books, painting, playing guitar, knitting, cooking, building puzzles, paper mâché, ballet, chess, pottery, etc .
