Hasbro has detailed the launch of its Bring Home the Fun platform, a global initiative created in light of the Covid-19 pandemic and offering kids and families a platform with content to inspire, play and do activities while at home.

The Hasbro site, BringHometheFun has family-focused resources, including tips for family playtime, activity challenges to keep kids occupied, ideas for using games and toys to stimulate kids’ brains, and suggestions on how to cope with increased emotional stress.

The Rock sings to daughter every night

Dwayne Johnson, the Rock took to social media to share an adorable video of his daughter Tiana Gia.

“And for the 1,927th time I will sing ‘You’re Welcome’ to baby Tia as part of our nightly daddy/daughter negotiation to go to bed! It. Never. Ends.” he wrote, referring to the Disney film Moana, in which he plays demigod Maui.

“But truth is, spending all this time at home with my ladies has been a real silver lining blessing in this craziness we’re all experiencing,” The Rock added.

The best part? The tot still has no idea that her dad plays Maui.

In a previous video uploaded to Instagram, Johnson is shown in the bathroom with his toddler, and they show off their hand-washing to the tune of Maui’s “rap portion” of Moana’s “You’re Welcome.”
