The dreaded cry “I’m booored! There’s nothing to dooo!” can ring out
any time of year, from the long days of summer through winter’s cabin
fever. Protect your children from absolutely, positively dying of
boredom -- and save your own sanity -- with this deck of irresistibly do-
able ideas created just for kids.

Pick from 80 activities, all requiring only the simplest of materials and
little or no parental involvement. You’ll know they’re building their
brains, stretching their imaginations, and exercising their bodies --
they’ll just know they’re having fun.

Let them occupy themselves with ideas like…

• Who inspires you? Write them a letter and tell them why. Ask your
  folks to help you find the person’s address and mail it.
• How many different vegetables can you list in 10 minutes?
• Create a "secret society" of friends that secretly does nice things for
  people.  Create a top secret list of "victims" and fun ideas of nice things
  to do for them.
• Pick random names from the phonebook. Write a story using these
  characters.
