"Mum, I'm bored!"
How many times have you heard your kids say this?
Too many, if your kids are like mine
So I made some activity sticks.
On coloured lollipop sticks I wrote different activities, they simply pick one and do what it says.
I couldn't find anything to keep the sticks in so I just spray painted (Love that stuff) an empty innocent veg pot.

play with lego
watch a dvd
make a collage
play hide and seek
play monsters
pull weeds
read a book
play on the wii
go for a walk
go to the park
paint
have a water fight
have a dance competition
do jumping jacks
have a fashion show
karaoke
put on a play
write a story
draw a self portrait
play with figures
play restaurants
and loads more
