Summer Boredom Jar

Yesterday, I spent about an hour making up a super simple Summer Boredom Jar for all the times Hazel whines, "I'm bored! What can we do now?" over the next three.long.months.of.no.school.....

 

 Seriously, all I did was take an old jam jar (or maybe it was an olive jar, who knows?!) and tape a little sign on it, then using different colored pens and craft sticks, I wrote assorted things to do that were cheap and easy, and most importantly, things I was willing to do if the stick got pulled!

Here is a list of the things I wrote, if you are inclined to do something similar!

letter/alphabet hunt

library

sew with yarn (we've been practicing needle and yarn sewing because H really wants to use a machine soon)

play with bubbles

doodle pray in color

pack up and go to the zoo (we have a membership)

make jewelry with mom

nature scavenger hunt around the neighborhood

go to the beach

go on a hike

play with sidewalk chalk

make a giant board game with masking tape outside

go get french fries at red robin and eat them on the patio

weed with mom

finger paint

make watermelon juice

pack up and go to the childrens museum (we have a membership)

colors scavenger hunt

make a car race track in the dirt and have a rally

bake mud pies in the play kitchen

set up a tent in the yard

There you go! I'll let you know how it works out!!
