Day 6 of wildfire smoke… and we’ve officially played “bad guy and policeman” approximately 100 times. 😂🚔
But before all the imaginative play started, I actually let the boys be bored for a little while this morning.
As hard as it can be to hear “Mum, what can we do?” over and over, boredom isn’t a bad thing. 💛 It’s actually been linked to helping children build creativity, problem-solving skills, independence, and imagination. Sometimes, when we don’t jump in with the next activity, they surprise us with the games they create all on their own.
Eventually… that game just happened to involve me being chased around the house. 🤪😂
We’re definitely feeling the cabin fever over here, but trying to make the best of it one silly game at a time.
What have been your favorite ways to keep your little ones busy while we’re all stuck inside because of the smoke? ⬇️
