Summer Boredom Buster’s Book Giveaway from National Geographic (Closed)

nat geo kids logo

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!

    If the kids are bored, I try to get them to play a board game together. Most of the time it works!

    to keep from getting tooooooooooooo bored…. I have oooooodles of crafting stuff…we make cards, write them out and send them out…everyone loves getting mail…right??? 🙂

  37. Renee T says

    My kids have a leapster that we can take “to go” if they are bored… but mostly they just lover to go…to the park or to the store, etc..

  41. Tiffany Christie says

    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.

  49. Nancy M says

    I have a huge box of various puzzle books that I’ve accumulated over the years. That is my “go- to” when I hear anything about bordom!

  51. April P. says

    my go to at home is my son’s video games. He is only 3, so we do the V Smile. I hate to depend on it, but we gotta do things we don’t like!

  56. Carolyn DiLeo says

    When the kids are bored, I suggest going into the kitchen to bake. It never fails and my teen daughters have become masters in the kitchen!

  58. Amanda A says

    My go to when they are getting bored is sending them out to the backyard to play or suggesting the leapster – they both love it!

    My favorite responses to the “I’m bored” cries are weather-dependent. On nice days the answer is ‘why don’t you go ride your bikes for awhile.’ (which leads to them kicking the soccer ball around or practicing shooting street hockey balls into the net) while on rainy days my answer is ‘why don’t you draw me a picture’
