By now, I am sure you have heard the two most dreaded summer words at least a million times!
“I’m Bored!”
I feel you, my son wakes up every morning asking me, “So what are we going to do today?”. Most days it is so early that the sun will not be up for hours and I have to figure out a way to keep him happy until it is a somewhat decent hour. Luckily, just in the nick of time, National Geographic Children’s Books has the ultimate summer boredom busters — three books that are fun, interactive and – gasp! – educational (but don’t tell your kids that!):
* Weird But True – Based upon the hugely popular page in the National Geographic Kids magazine, kids will definitely say “wow!,” “cool!” and “gross!” as they flip through the 301 outrageous facts and learn, for instance, that peanut butter can be converted into a diamond, an elephants tooth can weigh as much as a bowling ball and a dog can make about 100 different facial expressions!
* The Big Book of Fun – Featuring National Geographic’s signature photography and vivid graphics, this interactive game book includes over 75 games, mazes, fill-in-the-blank stories, trivia tests and more.
* National Geographic Kids Almanac 2011 – Introduced last year and updated for 2011, this best-selling almanac has quickly become the gold standard. Kids will love the more than 50 puzzles, projects ands cool experiments, the 500 pictures of our planet and all that’s on it and the more than 5,000 fun and amazing facts. Parents will love it because its chapters on science, geography and history — plus more than 15 homework-helper sections — is a terrific way to kick-start their kids’ brains as the new school year approaches.
My Two Cents:
I have talked about these books before here on “Deal”icious Mom and I can tell you that both my own son and my students love these books. They will keep them interested, both in the house or on the go. My son really enjoys the mazes and puzzles in the Big Book of Fun which by the way you can also get for free with this form and 4 UPCs (pg 7) from certain products!

My name is Sara, I am a wife, a mom to 2 jokers also known as my little boys (a 5 year and 2yr old!), and a Special Education High School teacher...not sure I have room for anything else but I sure can try!
If the kids are bored, I try to get them to play a board game together. Most of the time it works!

If my kids are complaining of being bored, I send them outside to play. They soon start a game of ball, or frisbee and forget they were bored.

That usually sparks me to get off my butt and have the kids help me clean or I’ll find a task that has to be done to have them help me with. ….Tiffypoot @ (aol.com)

Our summertime go-to to beat boredom is our pool in the backyard. I mention swimming and the boredom seems to disappear.
