Did you know that many local businesses are offering TO GO at-home activities and kits during the quarantine? What a great way to keep busy AND support local Lancaster County business during this unprecedented time!
I spent a couple of hours researching (because I kept finding more and more). In fact, I found so many that I made a separate post for 10+ Take Home Pizza Kits in Lancaster County and 20+ Kits and Care Packages for Kids!
I was surprised to find several at-home kits geared for teens and adults including soap making kits, canvas painting kits, pottery kits, cross-stitch kits, and more! I hope you enjoy the full list of at-home kits that teens and adults will enjoy.
