10 Activities To Do With Your Kids: Stave Off Boredom - Part 2

By Eric Hartwell 11. Make puppets and put on a show. Wooden spoon puppets are easy to make, buy some cheap wooden spoons from the pound shop or supermarket, and draw on a happy face on one side and a sad face on the other with felt pens. The body can be made from the new style washing up liquid bottles or a piece of card folded in 2, cut to shape with a hole cut for the spoon handle. Dress in scraps of fabric, wrapping paper etc glues on. Or put the odd socks to use and make sock puppets with stickers or glued in fabric. 12. Plan a new design for your bedroom. Give each child a large sheet of paper and a glue stick. Give them scissors and some old catalogues and magazines and let them put together a collage of their perfect room including toys etc. 13. Paint a stone. Any large stone will do. Give it a good wash and leave it to dry, then decorate with acrylic paints, glitter, glue etc. 14. Paint a plant pot with acrylic paints and then plant a seed in it (bizzie lizzies grow well as house plants or venus fly traps - when grown their leaves fold up when touched). 15. Make some junk musical instruments and form a band. Plastic bottles with stones or pasta or rice in make good maracas, stretch some rubber bands over a lidless box for a guitar/harp and an old biscuit tin makes a good drum. 16. Pop bottle ten pin bowling. Put a few stones into some empty pop or water bottles. Decorate with printed sheets of paper. Then use a soft indoor safe ball at them to knock them over. 17. Use one of the bottles from the bowling to throw rings over. These can be cut from the side of large cardboard boxes if required. 18. If you have small children try and get a very large box from a supermarket and decorate it as a car to sit in. Paper plates can be used as wheels and steering wheel, flattened small foil pie cases as hub caps and lights, any paint for the bodywork and use a parker pen to draw the doors in. 19. Try blow football, any light ball (practice golf balls are cheap) and a straw will do the job. 20. Dress up, any old clothes, hats and shoes will do, but scarves and lengths of fabric will give more options.
