Summer is almost over and the kids will be going back to school soon...for some parents and kids that is a big whew! Hopefully we will still have a few more months of warm weather (yes, I know that is a stretch but we can always hope).
For those of you that need a few ideas of what the kids can do when they are bored, check out my 'things for kids to do' list. I have added bits and pieces over the years so it's grown in size.
This balloon card and the picture of the craft the kids did on holidays reminded me of the list as balloons and leaf painting are on it (it's always interesting to me that you can spend a small fortune in toys and they spend all of a few minutes playing with them, but blow up a few cheap balloons and let them bat them around and make up their own games, they can spend a few hours :-)
Click here to view the list. There is also a Word file you can download at the end of that page if you want to save the list and print it out.
An idea I have done in the past is to print out the list and cut each 'thing to do' with scissors and put them all in a jar. When the kids are bored, out comes the jar and they can pick their own 'thing to do' :-)
PS I am definitely no longer a kid, but I think I am still one at heart as I enjoy doing many of the things just as much as my kids :-)
