For all the moms that are sick of hearing their kids say, "I'm bored!"...
May I introduce you to the "Bored No More" Box.
A box full of art supplies and crafty things to get your little one's imaginations going.

Happy creating!
To make your own "Bored No More" Box...
You will need:-A box (I used a clear plastic shoe box from Walmart)
-Art supplies of your choice
(I included glue, crayons, markers, water colors, and colored pencils)
-Crafty accessories of your choice
(I included pipe cleaners, feathers, googly eyes, pom poms, popsicle sticks and clothes pins)
-You could also include items from around the house that are commonly used in crafting
-You could also include items from around the house that are commonly used in crafting
(for example cotton balls, Q tips, empty toilet paper rolls, etc.)
If giving as a gift, I would recommend taking some of the items that came in bulk and putting them into smaller bags so they fit better into the box and so you can make a few "Bored No More" boxes with your supplies.
I found small zip lock bags at Walmart in the craft section and I just tied the items that were too big to fit into a bag with some ribbon.
Then put all your crafty items into your box...
and decorate the lid however you would like!I made this one for our friend's son who is turning 4. Hopefully he will like it!

I made something very similar only girly and in a smaller scale for our Super Summer Swap! I used an old Mason jar and spray painted the lid purple. Then Mad filled it with all sorts of glittery and pink things for a 'Get Fancy Jar!' a la Fancy Nancy style!

Hi! I just found your blog and this terrific idea. It's so much fun. A little box of creativity. I hope you don't mind that I linked to you. :) Thanks for the idea!! It was a lot of fun to put some boxes together. BTW, congrats on your baby. He's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe “Bored No More Box” idea caught my attention, especially the concept of putting together a collection of simple activities to keep children occupied when they run out of things to do. I liked how something so straightforward can turn an ordinary afternoon into an opportunity for creativity and play. While browsing New Assignment Help UK, I noticed that someone searching for Help with Assignment may also come across ideas that show how organised activities can make a difference. It makes me wonder what kinds of activities children today would actually choose to put inside their own boredom box.
