You’re bound to hear “Mom I’m bored!!” at least a couple hundred times over the next couple of weeks until schools reopen. We have a solution for you – simply print out these two pages of boredom busters and get your child to cut out all the idea flags and pop them into a jar. If you don’t have a printer at home, simply write them on pieces of paper and pop into a jar. We have also provided you with blank flags to think up your own favourite activities. Then you can decorate the jar with the cute label we have provided on page 2 – so next time you hear those dreaded words “Mom – I’m bored!” let them choose a fun thing to do out of the Boredom Busters Jar. Yay!
