Need some help keeping the family entertained over the holidays?
Boredom Busters are a simple, flexible way to support your whānau during long days, school holidays, or in the moments when children aren’t quite sure what to do next.
This printable resource invites families to create their own activity jar, filled with gentle ideas that encourage connection, creativity, movement, and rest. We've got lots of activity suggestions in the printable for you to include, but there's also space to come up with your own ideas together as a whānau to add to you Boredom Buster Jar!
We've included some tips on how the activities can be adapted, skipped, or saved for another day, depending on what feels right for your whānau.
And remember - being bored is okay too! For our tamariki it can be great to remind them that when they feel bored it might just mean their brain has a chance to rest or come up with new ideas!
