We're a full week into summer break and I'm loving the unscheduled days. Give me a couple more weeks though and I'll be giving the kids lists of boredom busters to keep the days full and fun.
I thought I'd share the list with you too. {Where possible, I've provided links to ideas I've shared in old blog posts.}
~ have a lemonade stand~ have a water balloon fight~ run in the sprinkler~ play with ice cars~ paint the house or fence with water~ paint with frozen watercolors~ make a sidewalk chalk mural~ have a sponge ball war~ have a water gun fight~ make ice cream in a bag~ play with bubbles~ learn how to hand sew~ finger paint with shaving cream~ paint a monogrammed work of art~ make a treat for the birds~ bake something~ make swirly stones~ bake cinnamon ABC's~ make your own playdough~ have a nature scavenger hunt
What are you favorite boredom busters?

ReplyDeletelemonade stand, treat for the birds, kool-aid playdough, bubbles, water fight but with the sponge balls (you did this before), and adding lots of time at the park, and homemade popsicles. On a rainy day we will go see the puppies at the pet store.
11 more days of school!
Can you do a list for teens/your older ones? I'd love some ideas.
