IMG_2077"Mommy, I'm Bored" or "Mommy I wanna do something".   My kids used to drive me crazy with that several times a mean solar day.   Well, they even so exercise… merely now I take a comeback.   Become roll the activity dice.

Nosotros bought wooden blocks (available at most hardware and craft stores) and covered them with paper.   Here are directions on how to decoupage your die and make it spiffy.   Then we added a sticker to each face of the die with an pick.   I take several decision-making dice.   Nosotros have used them to determine what snacks we'll eat that day, what chore we'll do together, what activity we should make full our morning with, even in our church building'due south Sunday School plan to decide what songs nosotros'll sing next.   My kids love rolling the dice.

These are sample activities you lot can put on your "Boredom-Buster Die":

  • Excersize Record
  • Craft Project (color, pigment, glue – yous can make a separate dice for crafts if you lot want.)
  • Read a book
  • Playdough or goop
  • Cook with Mommy
  • Play Dress-upwardly
  • Build something
  • Do a task
  • Pretend pond in the tub
  • Go outside
