Bored Activity Jar For Your Family!

Do your kids constantly tell you that they’re bored on the weekends or during the summer? If so, then you can re-purpose an older mason jar or other glass container and fill it with fun ideas! I know that I need to make one of these for my own children. Plus, I can fill it with inexpensive activities to keep money in the wallet. Check out a few of these ideas below:

1. Go to a Museum
2. Have a Race
3. Wash the Pots
4. Watch a TV program
5. Make Finger Puppets
6. Make a Treasure Map
7. Write a Poem
8. Make a Bird Feader
9. Run Down a Hill
10. Make Popcorn
