Stuff to Do

I have been feeling like a mundane mom lately and have been wishing for some creative ideas of things to do with my kids. Well, things to do at home that are free, that is. I think they get tired of me dragging them all over town. Anyway, I made a list of stuff and cut it up and put it in a jar of ideas for the boys to pick from. My mom used to call it an "I'm Bored Jar" and you can guess when we used it. Although I think hers had chores and stuff in it too, ha ha. I think the idea was to get us to quit griping about being bored. Anyway, here is a list of the things in our jar in case you and your kids are ever bored and don't want to mess with writing down a list.

cut out pictures from magazines
pick a puzzle to do with mom
make popsicles
paint a picture
cut pieces out of felt
dance party
play car dealership
cook or bake with mom
"homework" (letter etc. practice)
go for a walk
play in the water/ pool outside

We would LOVE some additions to our list. We usually pick at least one a day, so this list won't last us that long. Any helpful ideas?
