Boredom Busters!

For a relaxing adventure along the lower Animas river, we suggest a tour on a tube! Stay cool and see Durango from a whole different perspective!
Our friends at Mild 2 Wild can hook you up with everything you'll need!

This jar may look as if there is nothing in it 

but it is filled with imagination! 

What does imagination look like? You decide!

Then can you capture it in a jar like a firefly? 

Or like a Fairy? 

Or like the magical Dragon's breathe?

Just clownin around! 

Make your own dot to dot.

Draw a picture, any picture!

Then get another blank piece of paper!

Instead of tracing your picture again, just make dots and number them to make the picture! 

Boredom Busters

Shake it up! Work it out!

 Magic Moves is all about…MOVIN’

To the beat of your imagination

Stomp like an elephant! Soar like an eagle! 

Swim like a dolphin! Ninety fun, physical commands, a twinkling light show, and a variety of creative way to get kids  3 and over up and moving! Not only can you swim, stomp, and soar but ya have to listen to what comes next so you can continue on this journey like the animals do!

Take a trip to New York and visit the Empire State Building that you built! Nanoblocks are the micro building system 
that take you to the sites to see around the world. Unlike the
bigger building systems, these don't hurt your foot when you step on them. Build your own Empire State building that is less than a foot tall. The detail is incredible!

 Ah yes, the infamous Doink It Darts! One of the finest magnetic dart boards we've come across and a big part of Noel Night in downtown Durango! This little gem keeps kids and grown ups outta trouble for hours. Who can hit the bullseye? Who can get the lowest score? Who can throw a dart while standing on one foot and get the highest (or lowest) score? Who can call out a number and then hit that number with their magnetic dart? Who can get the best score from the farthest distance away? Who can get the worst score from the farthest distance away? Can Grandma outscore the whole family? See, it is a boredom buster!

 When I was a little Betty and when Moby Dick was a minnow, we would occasionally mope around the house and tell my Mom we couldn't find anything to do. She would raise an eyebrow, look over the top of her glasses, and suggest we twiddle our thumbs!That seemed boring only because I wanted to do something far more exciting! Like... oh, maybe, make something cool.... Now we offer these suggestions as "boredom busters".

 The Klutz book of Twisted Critters.... THE Pipe Cleaner book which gives you step by step instructions on how to make 20
(YES, 20) different creations using a variety of pipe cleaners that are included with the book. Everything from Crunchy Carrots to an Itty- Bitty Chick to a blazing dragon. The instructions have pictures and it looks like you may need a ruler (I like to "eyeball" measurements), a pair of fingernail clippers, a black marker, and a pencil. If nothing else, it will take a awhile to round these things up around the house. Call it a treasure hunt.....

 Speaking of a treasure hunt.... I may have to buy the fingernail clippers, marker, pencil, and ruler with my gold coins from Captain brother pirate Mikey! He was a swashbuckling kinda guy with Hot Wheels tracks from one end of the house to the other! Or maybe the old Captain would demand a pence or two to cross the bridge? Or maybe there was a map with an "X" that marked the spot where the treasure was buried? Or maybe we went to market for some fresh fixins while sailing the living room on our upside down coffee table? That's a couple hours right there!

EPIC! EXTREME! RADICAL! This isn't an ordinary dot-to-boring-dot book that you can finish in 27 seconds thereby finishing the entire book in 10 minutes! No Sirree Bob! Nuh-uh! Whew! This book of beastly creations takes some serious time, maybe an eraser, and lots of concentration! Watch the numbers as you draw a line from one number to the next, you have to count as high as 1400 so you can learn your numbers too! Then, When you connect the last dot you have to do a happy dance and sit back to admire our accomplishment before you color it!

Powered by imagination, not electronics! That's it!
