Kids bored? Tired of the whinning?

It's summer and kids are free! To play, swim, imagine, squabble, be dirty, stay in their jammies all day, stay up late, and of course...finally get BORED.

We think there are a few tricks to shake up their "boredom barometer." Every couple of weeks introduce a new activity or craft. One at a time...so it is the FOCUS of the day.

At Hooray! we have activity kits and fun activity books geared for summer fun. Our kids loved the BUILD AND PAINT BIRDHOUSE KIT. Kids love to build things. And, given the opportunity to do a project themselves really boosts their sense of pride and accomplishment. A bit of parental guidance is needed to construct the house. But once the house is together...you can step back and leave the kids to paint and dream-up their PERFECT birdhouse decorations.

I was especially amused at my daughter's need to mark her birdhouse clearly for: Mrs. Bird and Mr. Bird. This must be their LOVE shack. Priceless!

So don't let them whine or get bored.
Stop in and check out our quality summer activities for kids. Hooray!
