We’ve all heard those most dreaded words no parent or grandparent ever wants to hear from a child, “I’m bored. I have nothing to do.” We quickly scramble around looking for something, anything, that will do the trick.
Well, Highlights has developed a resource that is exactly what you’ll be looking for, the next time you hear that complaint.
The Highlights Book of Things to Do would have been an excellent resource back when out kids were small. Now, today, we often look after their children and I’ve actually heard them say they were bored.
Here is the list of chapters:
Things to Do Inside
Things to Do Outside
Science Experiments to Do
Things to Build
Things to Do with Your Brain
Things to Do in the Kitchen
Things to Draw
Things to Write
Things to Do with Color
Things to Do with Paper
More Things to Do with Recycled Materials
Do Great Things
From the publisher:
The Highlights Book of Things to Do is the essential book of pure creativity and inspiration. Kids ages seven and up will find hundreds of ways to build, play, experiment, craft, cook, dream, think, and become outstanding citizens of the world.
This highly visual, hands-on activity book shows kids some of the best ways to do great things--from practicing the lost arts of knot-tying, building campfires, connecting circuits, playing jump rope, drawing maps, and writing letters, to learning how to empower themselves socially, emotionally, and in their communities. The final chapter, Do Great Things, inspires kids become caring individuals, confident problem solvers, and thoughtful people who can change the world.
So, the next time you hear those deadly seven words, “I’m bored. I have nothing to do,” just reach for your copy of Highlights’ new book. And if you don’t have a copy? You can find it in bookstores or order it online today
