Here's a FUN craft to make your child
(and you)!!
I got it from a great blog called, Somewhat Simple.
First, take an old Oatmeal container, Mod Podge,
If it doesn't fit (like this one),
hot glue a ribbon over it.
This will adhere it to the container,
and give it a Matte finish
(which I chose instead of glossy).
Hot glue it to the lid.
I added a button to hide the seam.
Print out, "I'm bored, Mom"
and glue it to the top.
Print out 40-50 different ideas that kids can do
when they are bored!
Some are...
Have a friend come over,
play with bubbles,
run through the spinklers.
Cut them up and put them inside.
All done!

Isn't it cute?!
but I bet it would be fun for both child AND Mommy!
Hopefully it will give you a tiny break!
that is a great, and at the same time, very pretty idea! my boy is always saying he's bored. this would go a long way toward stifling his boredom! thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteThis is fun! I think that if I had kids I'd get them to start writing out the things to do (subject to mom approval though!) This way it acts as another activity for them to do!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a neat idea.
