Coronavirus pandemic has shown us the creative side of many people and just another example is this mom who changed a section of her garden fence into a perspex window so that her toddlers can spend time with their friend who lives in the neighboring house.

Two-year-old Arabella and three-year-old Arlo Devonport, from Wakefield, Yorkshire, had been missing their friend Leo Adlington, who lives just next door, since the lockdown started.

So their creative mom came up with a clever solution to let her kids see their friend without compromising the much important social distancing.

Arlo and Arabella’s mom Ms. Vickers decided to cut out a hole in the communal fence between her garden and her neighbors’.

She discussed the idea with her neighbor and Leo’s mom Becca and after her green signal, the construction work started.

The innovative creation has allowed the three children to safely play with each other without touching. They can even make drawings for each other and play other board games using removable markers.

Ms. Vickers, 27, is a support worker who lives with her 30-year-old partner Danny.

Speaking of the brilliant idea, Ms. Vickers said: “Arlo and Arabella have been finding it hard not seeing anyone during lockdown.

“It got to the point where they were climbing on top of the rabbit cage that we have next to the fence so they could see over it into the neighbor’s garden which is clearly dangerous.

“Instead of them climbing up, we decided to make them a little window so they would be able to stand there and see their friend next door.

“We measured the fence and then ordered a perspex panel on eBay, cut into the fence panel with a circular saw and drilled some holes in each corner so we could screw some screws into it to hold it in place.

“At least now the children can see each other and chat through the window.

“We also bought wipe board markers so they now draw pictures on it and we’ve been teaching them to play naughts and crosses on it as well.

“The kids are at the window all day every day when we are at home so I guess they love it!”

This touching story comes after the UK administration is looking to ease the lockdown across the country.
