Boredom Busters : Tic-Tac-Toe To Go
For those of us who live near the shore or visit it often, it's a wonderful way to spend a family day. The surf, the sand, all great entertainment for our kids...for a while that is. Invariably comes that familiar whine, "I'm bored, there's nothing to do." When "go and commune with nature" just doesn't do the trick, here's a boredom buster that kids can make at home and bring along to the beach. Tic-Tac-Toe is much more fun when your beach towel is the playing board. As an at-home art project, have your kids paint a giant grid, creating nine squares, on a solid colored beach towel with permanent markers or fabric paint pens. Now comes another fun part. Once at the beach, have kids go on a hunt to find shells or rocks or sticks or whatever they fancy to use as their playing pieces. Although this is alot of fun at the beach, have kids bring their playing pieces home and you've got a fun game for the backyard as well. Now sit back and relax while the kids entertain themselves...for a while that is.
