Are your kids hitting you with the “I’m bored”? Here’s some suggestions, other then sticking them in front of a video screen.
- Write an actual letter to grandma or grandpa or some other relative that they haven’t seen in a while.
- Create a ‘when I grow up’ poster.

- Wash the car or their bikes/wagon etc.
- Organize their room and see if there’s any toys/games/clothes they could donate.
That’s a start. By the way school starts in about 5-weeks!
