I would rather jab my eye with a fork than play Pokemon cards again. Really. Can anyone else relate? Thanks to some quality phone time with a good friend, I know I’m not alone in this. I just needed to change my attitude and step it up a notch… for everyone’s sake! If you’re in the same boat, and are looking for activities that you can do with your kids over Spring Break, or on rainy weekends, I’ve put together some sanity-saving DIY’s this week!
Have you heard of yarn-bombing before? I posted an example of it here… but I’m not a knitter, so I won’t be doing that. When I discovered eyebombing last week, I thought “HOW FUN! The boys would love this!” And I was right! My oldest and I spent a half hour placing eyes strategically throughout the house to surprise his younger sibling. It was really fun for us eye-bombers to watch all the faces being discovered with glee. And, now the younger one is excited to surprise his brother the next time he’s out.
This one’s good for the kid at heart too, don’t you think! I would love to hear what YOUR favorite activities are to do with kids! Oh, and stay tuned for more, because I’m only just getting started!

Super cute idea! It reminds me of when I was a kid and my Dad would put on a big Easter egg hunt for us using jelly beans. Suffice it to say some were very well hidden and we’d find more jelly beans months after Easter was said and done. It always made us smile! I am sure you will be finding googly eyes for days!
Thanks Zoe! It’s perfect for a rainy day!!
Oh, these are cute! Thankfully, have not entered the world of Pokemon cards with my brood but am definitely looking for fun activities for us all to share…especially if this rain continues! Will be waiting eagerly for more tips 馃檪

Glad that you boys got so much joy out of our little project!

This looks like so much fun! I’m having to negotiate Miss Teenage independence terrain… Swap you that for Pokeman cards!
LOL Sheila! Yes, I can’t say I’m eagerly awaiting teen angst and independance!!
As someone who has wanted to tear my hair out on many rainy days stuck inside with the kids, I can totally relate! This is such a great idea, definitely something to try in the upcoming holidays.
I love this idea! My seven-year-old will go crazy.
I’m so glad Shannon! I’ve got more ideas coming throughout the week!
EYEBOMBERS…so cute.You are such a smart momma to be so creative for your sweet boys!
