What fun different or interesting activities can young preschool kids do when you are bored?

Answer 1

If you are bored you have too much time on your hands. Perhaps it's the weekend, or the summer.

I don't think that there ever comes a time in life when you have nothing to do. There is always something you can be doing!

Don't be afraid to use your imagination and you are never too old to do any of these activities - there is always something to do.

Since boredom comes from inside you and not from out in the world, get up and go discover the world.

There are many things to see and do outside your door. Go find them. Since everyone is different when boredom hits, they solve that problem by engaging in their favorite hobbies or activities. If you don't know what you absolutely enjoy doing yet, you could experiment with a few time consuming activities that will spike your interest.

Don't like that? Write 25 questions down that come to mind. Not silly things, but real questions and then go look for the answers. Many great men did this all of their lives and inventions, art, and other things have come from them because of it. Da Vinci is one such man who wrote questions to himself all of his life and he did many great things.

I hate being bored, but then I tried doing some of these activities. It really helps! If it doesn't help, at least you tried something!

Please refrain from doing anything 'bad' or illegal.
