Need some ideas to brighten up kids' days, spark creativity and imagination, or get them up and active and away from screens? Pick a card from Busy Ideas for Bored Kids: Artist Edition!

From everyday objects and speedy sketches to triptychs and shape-scapes, this pack includes 50 fun ideas to inspire play that will keep boredom at bay. You'll find crafts that kids can achieve independently as well as activities you can do together, so there's something for every scenario. How about creating a blob painting? Or giving surrealism a try? Maybe make a foil sculpture? You can even go on an art hunt around your town!

Choose cards with the palette icon if you're feeling playful, the star icon if you want to be inspired, or the hand icon if you're in the mood to make. With so many options, you can pick more than once to find the activity that fits how you feel in the moment!

Richard J. ★★★★★

My kids actually fight over whose turn it is to pick a card — the prompts are simple enough that even my four-year-old can jump in, and they've turned a dozen afternoons into full-on art shows.
