I have
been working on creating a Bored Jar for quite some time now. I wanted to
create a list of activities that had a variety and would come from items found
around the house. What I really wanted was a list that I could print off that
gave me all of the information I needed right there – no searching the internet
for further instruction required.
Winter
can be long and boring and cabin fever usually takes hold long before spring is
anywhere nearby. There are also days during the summer when it is rainy and
gross outside and the kids are bouncing off the walls and I just need some
sanity time… enter the bored jar.
I have created a Google document for you {my readers} to be able to easily print off this list for yourself - FOR FREE. Feel free to print this off and use it!
I have
been working on the activities for this bored jar for a while and
have had a chance to complete each and every craft and activity. This list ranges
from painting projects to games. I am happy with our little list and think that
each of these activities is work repeating. The original list consisted of a
lot more crafts for kids… but not everything turned out well enough to include.
I have
only included projects that my family has completed themselves
SUCESSFULLY. Projects that did not turn
out so well were removed from the original list. For example, our venture into
puffy paint was a complete and total joke and ended up being a frustrating flop. Each of these
activities and crafts can be found on Mom Mart in individual blog posts. If you
would like to see tutorials or a more in depth look at each craft just click on
the links below and you will be taken to the post.
I would
love to hear how these projects worked out for you as well, so feel free to
come back and leave some feedback.
