Submitted by jcht2010 on
“I’m bored.” What parent hasn’t cringed when they hear those words from their kids? If you have run out of ideas, here is a list of things for them to do that will keep them occupied.
• Get a map of your area, mark off all the local parks – then visit them, take pictures and vote for your favorite.
• Make crafts with recyclable items like stickers using old photos, magazines and repositionable glue.
• Make your own hard-to-pop bubbles with 1 cup of distilled water, 2 tablespoons of Dawn dish soap and 1 tablespoon of glycerin.
• Create three dimensional buildings using toothpicks and mini marshmallows.
• Create unusual s'mores by experimenting with ingredients like cookies, bananas, flavored marshmallows and white chocolate.
• Let kids paint the sidewalk or patio with plain old water and sponge brushes. When their creation dries, they can begin again.
• Bake cupcakes in ice cream cones and then decorate them.
• Assemble a family cookbook with all your favorite recipes.
• Learn about stargazing and identify as many constellations as possible.
• Make paper boats and race them in a kiddie pool using straws to propel them.
