The school year is coming to a close and parents everywhere will soon be hearing the dreaded "I'm Bored" I have compiled some sure ways to beat thos Boredom Blues!!
I can remember as a kid I used to beg my parents for quarters so I could get Gak from the machine when we went to the store. This awesome recipe for homemade Gak is guaranteed hours of fun for the kids!! The best part? You likely already have all of the ingredients at home!
When I stumbled across this fun activity I couldn't help but think how much fun the kids will have with this!! Our local Dollar Store has pool noodles and marbles for a buck each! I'm pretty excited to reveal this project to the littles!!
One of the absolute BEST memories I have from childhood is making Blanket Forts!! We would take every single blanket in the house and make a huge fort. We would spend the entire day playing in it and then beg our parents to let us sleep in it! We thought it was by far, the coolest thing ever!! Building a super cool fort just takes a bit of imagination but if you need a bit of motivation, you can find easy instructions here.
Plan a Scavenger Hunt. You can alter it to fit any age group. Kids absolutely love to explore and discover and they will have so much fun with this activity!!
You will without a doubt hear "I'm Bored" within the first week of summer. Hopefully these activities will get you started on the road to fun!!
