I made an "I'm bored jar' and have several slips of paper with craft ideas on them and they draw from the jar about twice a week and usually end up doing some sort of crafty thing. There are other "chore" type things in there but I make sure to make them say fun things... the girls seem to like them anyhow...

Sometimes it's just plain paper and their crayons and their imaginations.  Other times it's a planned craft idea that I came up with off the top of my head and sometimes I find crafts on blogs and websites that we try out.  Fun times!  ;0)

 Love that idea!
