Help With The Boredom Blues This Summer!

If you are like me and have kids like me. Then you know the phase "I'm Bored" It is almost as bad as Why? I feel like my son say's it a lot. With school out or almost out I can just image how many times I am going to hear it. Well I wanted a way to handle the Boredom Blues. So would you like to see what I came up with?

I created a "I Am Bored Jar"

I found a mason jar I had laying around in the kitchen and created this fun idea. I have named it "I Am Bored Jar" Are You Sure?

I filled it with treats and chores. Some of the treats include. Go for a walk with mom, play a card game with mom, watch a movie of your choice with mom. Some of the chores included; Dust the living room, sweep the front porch. 

So if my son comes to me and tells me he is bored he must pick from the bored jar. What ever he pulls out he must do. No more trying to figure out what to do. It is all in a jar. My hope is that it will help him in learning new way to entertain himself while also spending one on one time with me. I hope this will help with those horrible Summer Boredom Blues. What do you think?
