Top Ten Fun + Easy Boredom Busters!  


From the book 101 Kids Activities that are the Bestest, Funnest Ever! By Rachel Miller and Holly Homer, here's the link for the book so you can make all these insanely awesome things!
There are 4 sections in this book. I will be taking my favorite top ten from each section. This post is about the BOREDOM BUSTERS section. Not only have I taken my favorites (and I am an excellent judge of these things ;) these are also EASY (or at least mostly, ha!) So, without any further ado...wait, I actually have a little more ado. I totally and completely recommend this book! All righty! LET"S GO! Oh, and there was a tie for number nine. 

Top 10 Boredom Busters
1. Dry Erase Doodles-quick, easy and inexpensive to make, easy to make, and so, so fun! 

2. Sensory Bag Collection-great for long trips, stress reliever, and entertainment etc. For older kids help them design their own!

3. Baggie Maze-not only is this problem solving, it is fun! This is very easy to put in a bag for taking anywhere and everywhere.

4. Stuffed Animal Marionette-fun for everybody! Have the kids put on a show with all their stuffed animal marionettes.

5. Marshmallow Launcher-great party idea and game for your more "hard to please players". For a challenge, make a target to shoot at!

6. Sticky Note Pom pom Maze-so fun and easy to set up and take down!

7. Ping Pong Ball Run-great for your older kids! Have them help make or decorate the "run" as well! 

8. Grape Structures-there's so many variations for this entertaining, skill building game (e.g. one correct bible verse recited from memory=one grape and toothpick) and so much more! 

9. DIY Straw Building Set or Bouncing Balloons-Both of these are super cool and engaging for your more patient kids! 

10. Tin Can Drums-easy and quick to make and entertains for a long time. Have them invent other instruments as well! This is a great skill building and amusing game especially for your younger kids. 

So there you have it! Hope you enjoy these and soon I'll be posting the next top ten for the next section... CRAFTS!!!!
