I am in the process of making the "I'm Bored Box." I would like to take credit for the idea, but it was my husband's.
I am writing things on little cards to put in a box to have my children pick when I get the daily "I'm Bored" whine.
Write a letter.
Read a book.
Vacuum the stairs.
Clean the first floor toilet.
Make a card.
Do a Math Page.
Clean the blinds.
Mop the hard woods.
Play the piano for fifteen minutes.
Make a list of ten things you are grateful for.
Say a Decade of the Rosary.
Do fifty push ups.
Sort socks.
Clean muddy shoes.
You get a Second Chance...This time.
If you have any ideas to add to the mix, I would love to hear them.
This is a great idea. Much nicer than my approach. When Tanner complains of being bored, he is required to clean something. So I really don't hear it much.
