12 Boredom Busting Activities for Kids

2. Cotton Ball Crawl

Crawl away the yawns with Cotton Ball Crawl.  The game is simple enough but kids love it!  All you need to do is dump a pile of cotton balls on the floor in the center of a room.  Put an empty bowl somewhere in a neighboring room.  Set a timer for 3-5 minutes and once you say “GO!”, have your child move all the cotton balls, one at a time, into the bowl using only a spoon or spatula and by crawling on hands and knees.  Make things more interesting by having your kids try to beat their time each round.
