As summer starts getting into full swing, it’s only a matter of time before my kids start with the “Mama, what can I doooo” and “Mama I’m bored”. I actually don’t think there’s anything wrong with a kid being bored. Boredom is good for kids’ brains and often leads to them finding something really fun and creative to do (unless you’re my preschooler, and then it just leads to a huge mess).
There are times, like when it’s been raining for days or when it’s over 100 degrees outside when a fresh idea can help improve everyone’s attitudes. So today I’m bringing you 27 boredom busters for kids, all of which can be done at home with little-to-no prep or mess. To me, a true boredom buster doesn’t require a lot of work from me—either in getting it prepped or in helping to clean it up. These are all fun ideas for kids to do, and if you have older kids, they can do them all by themselves!
If you’d like to get out of the house instead, pack your Summer Go Bag and see if a city close to you is on our Top 25 Free Things to Do Pinterest board!
27 Summer Boredom Busters for Kids
Have a Scavenger Hunt
Quickly write up a list of household items or outside items for your kids to find (or let your kids make it up for each other!). You could have them try to find different amounts of things (1 rock, 2 pinecones, etc.) or do a color themed hunt (a red shoe, a black button, a green cup, etc.)
Paint Rocks
Use rocks from around your yard and whatever paint you have. You can also use Sharpies to write words on them!
Paint with Shaving Cream
Pull out shaving cream and cookie sheets and add food coloring if you want.
