Sticks For Kids! Turn Boredom Into Creation

3/1/2013

The other day, I witnessed a little boy say that he was "bored" to his Mom.  My ears perked up and I felt a little pang in my stomach.  His Mom quickly replied, "Being bored is impossible because there is always something you can do."   Right on sister!!!  Of course I was inspired by the way she handled herself.  Soon her little boy was pretending to fly through the playground.  

So, for those days when your kids say that evil word, here are some fun ways to Take On The Creative and turn boredom into creation.

DOORWAY PUPPET SHOW

With a little fabric and a curtain rod, your kids can put on a perfect puppet show for the family.  Throw in some socks and buttons and you can make puppets too.

THE BORED JAR

This is such a wonderful idea.  Any time your kid feels that feeling of boredom, tell them to take a suggestion from the jar.  You never know what you're going to get which can be part of the fun!

MARSHMALLOW BUILDER 

With some toothpicks and mini marshmallows, the building will never stop.  Perfect for those lego builders who want to sweeten it up a bit.

CAN STILTS

I personally can't wait to try this out. Let your kids get creative with their own designs.  I think we'll be doing some stilt racing this Spring for sure!

    Welcome to the Noodles On The Wall Blog, a place where I share the trials and tribulations of a creative noodle maker. (That's me!) My life is full of noodles and I've learned it takes a dash of inspiration and a pinch of creativity to throw them up on the wall to see if they stick. Hope you stick around!
