I'm bored! Is this a common saying heard around your house. Well, I am here to give you a few suggestions so that you and your family can fight the boredom.
It looks like the weather is going to be nice for the rest of the week, so why not hit a few parks. I always liked heading out to Ben Hawes and taking some nature walks. You can have your kids bring a notebook and they can draw some of the things they see on their walk. While you on your walk why don't you collect a few leaves to take back home and do research on. Creating leaf art is always a fun thing you can do with your kids. Break out the glue sticks and paper and see what they can create with some leaves-I bet you will be surprised with what your kids can come up with.
Not into nature-how about a trip to the museum. You can knock out two things in one day. A trip to Smoothers Park and the museum will keep the boredom away. Explore some of the exhibits and then have some fun at the playground at Smoothers Park.
A trip to library can open up your child's imagination. Grab a few books for yourself and your children. Nighttime reading is just what the doctor ordered for a good nights sleep!
At night, turn off the electronics and get back to old some school gaming with board games. Candy Land for the younger kids and Monopoly for your older children. Two of my favorites are Stratego and Life. I plan on playing those with my own children this week.
No money to go anywhere? Take a walk around the block and just enjoy the conversation with your children. You will be amazed at what your children would like to tell you.
Enjoy your break and we can't wait to see your children next week!
