The coronavirus has left us all in a gloomy daze. This quarantine has started taking a toll on both children and adults. Parents are slowly running out of fun activities for their children to kill time. Virtual apps and online learning have been a savior, but that too can only help for a bit. Fortunately, IKEA has recently released a campaign to help children get rid of their boredom using household furniture!
IKEA Russia has got you covered this quarantine. The retailer’s latest campaign for the lockdown era brings old-school childhood play into modern homes. The creative agency behind the fun campaign is’ Instinct.’ It includes a series of IKEA instructions on how to make tents, forts, and castles indoors; Bringing adventure to children stuck at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The best thing about this campaign is IKEA shows parents how they could use everyday household items for an adventurous time. Blankets, clothes pegs, bedsheets, dining table chairs, and your regular sofa are being used most creatively!
