We are continuing our series to help fight BOREDOM this summer… No more hearing ‘I’m Bored Mom!’ this summer with these fantastic tips. Do you have something add? Leave a comment and we’ll be sure to feature it in a future post.

Arts and Crafts Bin: Set a budget and hit the dollar store or craft store to build a bin of craft supplies. Take the kids with you and give them $5-10 to add to the bin things that interest them. Once a week, pull out the arts and crafts bin for them to create.
A few things to consider including:
- pipe cleaners
- wooden craft sticks
- stickers
- puffy paints
- fabric swatches
- felt pieces
- yarn
- ribbons
- scissors, glue, tape, etc.
- paper plates
- foil
- pretty papers (scrapbooking paper?)
