It seems that in the summer, us kids seem to be on screens a bit too much! Then the Adults kick us off and tell us to do something else. I can never think of anything else to do! One way I solved this problem was by making a summer boredom jar. Whenever I am ‘bored’ I can pick a popsicle stick out of the jar and VOILA! I have something to do. Here is how I made it:
Supplies:
any type of jar, glass or cup (we used an empty pasta sauce jar)
popsicle sticks (thick, thin, colorful, plain)
markers, stickers, (any thing to decorate the jar)
Steps:
First decorate the jar with markers and/or stickers.
Next, on popsicle sticks write activities to do. Such as…
colour
learn a magic trick
create an obstacle course
draw a treasure map
make a bracelet
make a scavenger hunt for family and friends
Parents you might even want to add one or two like clean your room or read a book
Then decorate the popsicle sticks
Finally put all of your popsicle sticks in your jar and poof, you just made a summer boredom jar!
