Hellooo...I'm Bored!
Due to many unstructured days lately, I've been hearing these words: "I am Bored." Alexis has been turning to fighting with her sister and not obeying the rules as a means of finding something to do. It gets pretty frustrating breaking up countless fights, so something must be done! Pinterest to the rescue! I found this cool idea and I recreated our own "I'm Bored Jar." Here it is:
Alexis and I sat down and came up with fun ideas and not so fun, but I have to do them ideas!
Here are a few examples of things she has to do:
* Make a fort in the living room using blankets and pillows
* Pick a rock out front and make it into a rock pet (add paint, googly eyes, or whatever)
* Relax on your bed for 15 minutes
*Call Grandma
*Find 5 things that begin with the letter A, B, C, ect...
*Find 10 things that are orange, pink, blue, ect...
Today she picked: Draw your dream vacation
Maybe next time it will be: clean your room or give your sister a hug and kiss!
P.S. If you have any cool ideas for her jar, send me an e-mail! She's LOVING this!
I love this idea! I have wanted to try it with my kids but haven't yet...glad to hear that it works so well!
