Something to do

I got this activity idea from my sister. And it was a hit. Items needed: a large bucket, a bunch of straws (dollar store!), scissors, and kids who are possibly bored and/or driving you crazy. :)

Just give them the scissors and let them cut away. My boys LOVED this, especially when the straws got cut and went flying across the table. They both stayed here until every straw was cut into at least 5 pieces. I highly suggest it!

Plus, it's good practice for those kids (like Peter) who are still working on perfecting cutting skills.
