"Mom I'm Bored".... Idea #1

Each day I'll share a new "Mom I'm Bored" idea..... in hopes to keep your kids busy through the summer!

Today's Boredom Buster:

Snowballs in Summer

You need:

   2 pans or buckets

   1 bag of cotton balls

   1 spoon

   something to blindfold the eyes

Empty bag of cotton balls into one pan.  Blindfold child.  For 1 minute have the child "dig up the snow" (aka, the cotton balls) from one bucket/pan and place them in the other.  At the end of 1 minute see how many snow balls they've managed to move to the other bucket!  No using the other hand either.... one handed dipping only!

*While it sounds easy, the trick is that cotton balls weigh nearly nothing!  The kids will have no idea if they have a spoonful of "snow balls" or not.  And the other kids around can cheer them on, pretending like they just dumped a huge spoonful into the other bucket, when they didn't have a thing!
