Living in a house full of boys (who are bored with summer) led me to brainstorm some ideas about what to do with them.
- take apart a broken stereo
- take apart a broken blender
- take apart a broken toaster
- make a bird house
- learn to use a sewing machine and make a pillowcase
- plastic and wood models
- create a homemade board game
- make a treasure chest and fill it with treasure
- create something with paper mache
- sidewalk chalk
- build a fort
- learn the art of knot tying
- blow bubbles
- do a jigsaw puzzle
- play tag
- play hide and seek
- clothes pins in the bottle (or variation of)
- make paper airplanes
- make a periscope
- build a kite
