More Than 250 Boredom Busters

This exciting activity book for kids has over 250 ideas to keep them entertained and screen-free! Includes everything you need to play checkers, chess, and more! Way more.

Whether it's a rainy day or a sunny afternoon, you'll find plenty to make, play, and do. There's something in it for everyone. A good balance of creative and outdoor activities in one huge illustrated guide with board games included. 


With everything from writing a story to creating your own obstacle course or making paper airplanes to recycling, you'll be hard-pressed to find a child who can't find something to enjoy in this kids book. Packed with fun facts and rainy (or not so rainy) day activities, it's the perfect boredom buster for screen-free, on-the-go entertainment, nurturing children's natural curiosity and imagination. 

While there are activities that might require purchasing some craft supplies, plenty only requires your imagination or things that you can find around the house or garden. What's great is that it's designed to encourage children to put their own spin on anything they try in some way or another.

What sets this educational book apart is the box at the back with everything you need to play checkers, chess, and snakes-and-ladders. The playing pieces are made from card, and you get to build the dice yourself. 

Some activities require an adult to join in on the fun, but overall, it gives a lot of freedom and gender-neutral fun. Get creative and even dramatic to build confidence and bust boredom in many different ways. 

Never Be Bored Again!

This book contains more than 250 awesome things for you to make and do. Put down your electronic device and unleash the power of your brain with challenges, crafts, creative learning, and oh-so-many cool games for kids. 

Put on a play - write the script, make props, and more. Play some of the cool road trip games like I-Spy and storytelling. Perform magic tricks, write a song, discover all the different games you can play with a frisbee. The list goes on! 

With so many fun activities for kids to try, here is a small taste of what you'll get up to:

- Write a story
- Make a bee hotel
- Create an obstacle course

Chalk it up...for great fun! With a bucket of colored, neon, glittered, swirly, or even just plain white chalk, your fingertips, and the ideas in this charmingly illustrated book, the sidewalk is yours to play on and decorate. Write your favorite sayings, draw pictures, or play games with your friends or all by yourself. You can even create a big mess and nature will take care of it, because chalk just washes away. Start by making your own, if you'd like, with a simple recipe. Then let the good times roll by getting out and chalking the town with calendar creations that celebrate holidays--or come up with silly rebuses to catch the eye of everyone who walks by. Be a street artist, and design wild and crazy characters, or produce a maze. You've got game with chalked hopscotch boards, tic-tac-toe, a spin on basic jacks, and "jumbo jumps." Take a sidewalk safari--it'll really bring out the animal in you! Just copy a small part of your favorite beast--like a lion's mane or beaver's tail--and challenge your friends to figure out what it is. Whoever guesses right gets to finish the picture. And, all through there's lots of "chalk talk" where0 real kids tell their favorite "chalky" things to do!

Heroes Level Up





Dungeons & Dragons meets Jumanji in the second book in the laugh-out-loud adventure series Homerooms and Hall Passes!

Months after saving suburbia from destruction, our heroes are back to their old lives of dungeon delving and magical quests. All except the wizard Albiorix, who has given up adventuring and uses his time trying (unsuccessfully) to create his own board game.

When the party finds their old friend June Westray's smartphone for sale in a Bríandalörian bazaar, however, they fear the Realm of Suburbia is under threat.

Thus, the five young adventurers must travel back into Homerooms & Hall Passes, a role-playing game where they assume the characters of average American kids. This time they're at Level 9 and will face a whole new set of challenges: their freshman year of high school!

There are different cliques, different rules, and higher stakes. And if that wasn't stressful enough, the heroes must track down an evil spellbook, defeat a sinister foe, and figure out how to get back home . . . .

"You can't help falling in love with this hilarious upside-down take on Dungeons & Dragons. I read; I cheered; I laughed out loud."--Gordon Korman on Homerooms and Hall Passes
