Oh yes… Spring Break!
The flowers are blooming, the birds are singing, the grass is turning green all over again.
The breeze is clean, the air is warmer and after a few days with the kids at home you start hearing…
Mom… I am bored!
Don’t worry girl I got you!
My Spring Break is over… consider me a pro!
I survived!
Here I have for you 20 activities for your bored ones.
My own Anni taught me how to make these beads.
They are cute, easy and fun. Your kids will love making their own!
Have even the boys make some for grandma or teachers appreciation day.

The coolest thing about this one is that they will play for hours and days since they can change their own rules.
Check out also the wood dice tutorial!
Take the sharpies out… it is time to design some jewelry.
Watch their faces when they see their creations shrink and harden before their eyes!
We actually made this one during our Spring Break and this is the best play-dough recipe we have ever done.
Soft, clean, colorful and it smells GREAT.
You are going to love it as much as we do!

You can get the pencils at the Dollar Store.

Thank you for the jellyfish craft idea. I made them at work with the kids. They look great hanging from the ceiling. Thanks
That’s awesome!
Thank you so much for the visit!
I love these ideas. I want to try many of these with my lil guys. The only thing was your link for the bath tub crayons does not work, and that is one I’d love to try with them. Thanks much. π
Rebecca, let me see what I can do about that… Thank you for letting me know!
It will be surely nice to share some of your ideas on by blog in Nigeria. I am a mother of three as well and a teacher too. My kids like to do fun stuff all the time so I am happy I found your web so I can learn more and share with loads of parents back home in my country. Thanks.
o i will the last creation we did was the jelly fish it turned out great
i have 3 children who love your creations!
Yay! Kids are the best fans anyone can have since they are so honest… Make sure you thank all three for me π
How lovely that you included my finger knitting tutorial. My daughters little busy fingers keep showing up all over the place. I did a finger knitting workshop today for children. We made red, white and blue tails and plaited them together and added pompoms to each end. One of the participants said she is going to wear her’s when she goes to London 2012 to see the athletics – look out for that scarf!
Lisa, your idea is AWESOME! As soon as the Fall is here I am going to try it with my kids π
Thanks so much for posting these! I am a stay at home Mom to two little girls and it can sometimes be quite the task to come up with things to keep them busy. π
I love the fact that some of them are almost free. I had three kids under 3 and I know how hard it can be. Have fun with your little girls and thank you for visiting!
Some great ideas here! Thanks for taking the time to post all of these with their sources. Very helpful and some fun things here.
We’ve done the rainbow cake and the jelly fish. Super fun ideas.
