We're Bored.....

So, it's snowing. Half your kids are bouncing off the walls and the other half are sick (you know, the half that could play with the ones bouncing off the wall.) Inevitably, your kids will inform you that they are bored. What to do?

1. Nothing- being bored occasionally is part of childhood and a good stimulant for creativity.

But if that isn't working....

2. Shovel snow- hah!

3. Make Valentines.

4. Do a Puzzle

5. Play games.

6. Make paper dolls. Also, there are tons of websites out there that have free paper dolls.

7. Make story characters to narrate books that you are reading. Check this and this out!

8. Take all of your legos, playmobil and rokenbok and make a huge city.

9. Make a mini-office lapbook.

10. Snuggle up with a good book to read aloud.

This is just really our list of things to do today, by the way. We'll see how it goes....
