As we head into the final month of summer vacation – I’ve been hearing that certain phrase “I’m bored” a bit too often. So, to keep boredom at bay (and the TV off) we created our very own “I’m Bored Bucket” that is chock full of pretty papers, crafty doo dads, glitter, feathers and many more found objects! The girls even made one for their neighbor friends.
I love discovering things from around the house to add to the bucket – like packs of twisty ties and cardboard coffee cup sleeves I found in a drawer - can’t wait to see what they create with this “elementary upcycling!”

What a great idea, Heather. Perhaps we should consider developing something like this for online. E
until they get bored with the bucket, haha. I guess then you tell them to go hunt for more stuff to put in it. My gpa always used to say “If you are bored it means you are too stupid to find something better to do. Now, I know you aren’t stupid, so go figure out something better to do”.
That is the beauty of it – they never know what they might find in the bucket!
10 out of 10 idea/execution.
When I open our craft cabinet where things are ‘a bit’ more sorted than ‘a dark tin and who know what’s in there’ …
We TOO get the excitement of discovery when we find bags with this and that…
It’s very fun and inspiring!
I think I’m going to feature you at our blog…
