School's almost out, and are you already worried about what your kid's are going to do this summer? Do you fear being nagged to death by the three little words, "I'm bored, Mom!" Making a go-to jar filled with activities to keep your kids busy it a great way to get yourself and your kids through the summer. Now the great thing about this, is the activities can be anything from doing chores, or something fun like building a fort using blankets and the couch. As soon as you hear those magic words, send your kids to the jar to pull out their next activity!
Directions:
Simply use any extra jar lying around the house. Decorate it and make it fun and enticing for the kids. We used the
No Place Like Home SVG's, because what kid doesn't like snails? ;) Then we tied some fun cordinating ribbon under the lid. Print your activities onto a piece of paper and cut apart into strips. Fold and place them into your jar. We even have some activity ideas to get your started:
