Every parent dreads hearing their child say, "I'm bored". I made a list of things to do so that I would have a response the next time my son uttered those words. It has been working great, so I thought I would share some of it with you!

3. Do a science experiment
4. Dance to music
5. Ice cube painting
6. Roller skate
7. Put together a puzzle

9. Camp indoors on a rainy day (make a tent, let your child pack supplies, watch a movie while cuddling in a sleeping bag, etc.)
10. Make playdough
11. Make monster slime
12. Write a book together
