There's no reason to hear the dreaded , "Mom....I'm bored." And eventhough I know that I could have listed MORE ideas on a 2nd poster board, I bet I will still hear those words at some point this summer. ;)


Any ideas to share? Would love to see others post their board/bored o'ideas!

    Glad to find someone has come up with boredom buster ideas. I was flabbergasted today when my three year old daughter told me she was bored. You can only imagine my shock. I told her she was too young to even know what being bored meant. I immediately found some little activities for her to do. I'm sure she picked up the phrase from her older brother.

    Oooh - awesome ideas! Love the "choose happiness" quote - I need to borrow that! My "stock" answer for "I'm bored" is "Well, the bathroom needs cleaning - go do it. That will give you something to do!" [My kids don't tell me they are bored much anymore... I wonder why...?] LOL!

    I saw your comment at "My Thoughtful Spot" regarding the Huke Lau restaurant, and to answer your question, it is still there. I hope you will be able to come to the Homeschool conference.

    What an awesome idea! I am going to "borrow" some of what is listed on your board, especially the happiness quote. :-)

    This is a great idea! I might have to borrow that idea and use not just for summer but for whenever I'm busy. Maybe the list could change seasonly?
