Activity Boxes

"I'm bored. Can I watch T.V? There is NOTHING to do...." Those words drive me nuts. My solution? Activity boxes. Well, not everything fits in a box, but most things do :) I have linked several ideas to where you can find them or beginning instructions the activity, the others are self explanatory.

Rice Box
Magnet Builders
Sewing cards
Build with boxes
Build/create with Popsicle sticks
Craft box with pipe cleaners, tissue paper, beans, noodles, colors, glue...
Water Paints
Seeds, Beans & Rice Creations

*An important part of keeping these boxes fun is not allowing your children to play with them all the time. Stash the boxes up high, and pull them out for a treat. You can do this with toys as well :) Put some toys away for a season. When you pull them out, WOW, they are exciting again!
