NEW Boredom Buster Kit!

June 3, 2016 By Susan 3 Comments

I have nothing against kids getting bored. In theory. Bored people have created some seriously amazing things. But in practice, as a mom, it turns into a form of torture. As soon as I sit down to get something done* they’re asking for snacks, coloring pages, cardboard boxes, trips to the pool, trips to Paris, a pet pig and a new baby brother. Since only the first 3 are likely with the 4th being occasionally possible and items 5-7 being utterly ridiculous right now, I’ve found that I have to have a game plan beforehand. When a friend invited me to join other mom bloggers to help arm ourselves for summer I jumped at the chance!

We collectively created a Boredom Buster Kit! My contribution was these Creative Writing Cubes. My 7yo has already had so much fun with these – she’s written a bunch of stories and is working on adding more of her own extra cubes made with the extra blank templates.Boredom Buster Kit for Mom Sanity and KID FUN!

The kit also contains 9 other projects and several bonuses and they’re all ready to download and print and hand over to the kids with minimal grownup help. And I love that unlike hard copy stuff you’d buy – when they LOVE it – or if they feel like they just want to start over – you just print it again. No biggie. And there’s tons of variety – drawing, writing, backyard exploring, cooking, family journaling. Not just something for everyone, LOTS for everyone!Boredom Busters kit contains *10* complete printable projects and BONUSES - moms save so much time!

*In addition to the usual lack of routine over the summer, we’re MOVING this year. In about 2 weeks we’ll pack up the house, go spend a week with family welcoming new additions just in the nick of time, and hop on a plane to Bangkok. So I’m printing the whole boredom buster kit AND the reading kit so that while we’re all over the map this summer, I’ll be READY!Download and print EVERYTHING you need to keep kids having fun creatively this summer!

    This is sooo useful! Everytime I sit down to rest or to do something, my kids appear asking for something. I’m going to print these today, thank you so much for posting it! Your blog is amazing!
