For the Bracht family of Robertson, that creativity has taken the form of a children's story book and it's definitely gold - comedy gold.
Written by mum Kirrilee, illustrated by primary students Liam and Erin (high schooler Callum wanted "nothing to do with it"), it was read by dad Jon in an hilarious YouTube video that's been shared on social media.
"It was Kirrilee's idea and she jotted down a few of our 'schooling from home' experiences," said Jon Bracht, who usually works as a live event technician. Given the lack of live events, he's finding himself at home a lot more than usual.
"Erin and Liam did the pictures. It took about an hour, a couple of days ago, but our internet only got fixed yesterday so I couldn't get it uploaded until then.
"The younger kids think it's funny, our 12 year-old not so much - he's starting to come to terms with his parents not being as cool as he used to think."
It's okay, Jon and Kirrilee, we think you're cool. Enjoy the storytelling experience here:
