30 Amazing Summer Boredom Busters
/
Are the long hot days of Summer catching up to you? Need some help figuring out what to do when the kids are all screaming that they are bored?! Well, don’t worry! I have carefully put together a super fun (and kids tested) list of ways to keep the kids entertained. There is something on here for all ages and I bet you will even find a couple of things on here that will spike your interest as well. I love having the kids home with me over the Summer (aka when they are not in camp) but keeping them happy all day long can be tricky! Hope this helps you as well.. Don’t forget to read Number 30!
