5 Boredom Busters Collage
For years it’s always amused me when young kids say they’re bored. How can they not know how easy it is to have fun! Here are five fun things to help break up that boredom they’re suffering from.

Bubbles are always fun!

Jungle Bubbles

JUGGLE BUBBLES

Introducing Juggle Bubbles – the bubble activity kit featuring a no-pop solution that will allow your child to bounce, toss and juggle bubbles without the bubble bursting.
The Juggle Bubble kit includes a bubble blower, bubble tray, unique bubble solution and a pair of magic gloves to juggle and pass each bubble. Simple to use, the activity kit requires you to dip wide end of the Bubble Blower into the special solution, blow into the blower to create the bubble and then toss the bubble around or let it bounce off of your or your child’s hands with the Juggle Bubbles magic gloves. The bubble solution will provide hours of entertainment for your children, inside or out.
Juggle Bubbles can be purchased for $10.00 plus shipping and handling and are available at www.jugglebubbles.com.
