How to use the checklist
Print it out and pop it on the fridge, tuck it into a rainy-day box, or just keep it handy on your phone. Let the kids tick off activities as they go — it’s a simple way to turn “I’m bored” into “what’s next on the list?” You don’t need to do them in order, and you don’t need anything fancy — most of the ideas use things you already have around the house.
It’s also a handy one to pull out during school holidays, sick days, or those long stretches of bad weather when everyone needs a bit of fresh inspiration.
