Boredom Busters

 Make a tree your family tree!
Design something that represents each member of your family and hang it from the tree in your yard. It could be a family crest, it could be an animal totem, it could be a star... Remember not to tie anything to tightly to the tree because the tree will grow with your family.

 Recyle - Reuse - Repurpose
Take 2 empty toilet paper rolls or an empty paper towel roll cut in half and create your own binoculars. These are pretty high tech but you can customize your own with a little paint, maybe some markers, and maybe even with some stickers. A strip of duct tape holds them together nicely. Don't forget the string or ribbon for a neck strap!


Create your own game! 
We started with a deck of cards and a game of 52 card pick up which was a lot of fun because we flicked the cards into the air and let them lie where they may. Soon enough we were playing another game where one person had to pick out all their hearts without moving all the other cards. Then we added marbles, we shot the marbles from outside a circle onto the cards and whoever got the highest score on 3 marble rolls, won the hand. Then we added .... well, the list goes on....
