I don’t know about you, but we’re getting to that point in the summer
where the novelty of being out of school is starting to wear off.  The
kids are beginning to complain more and more that they’re bored, so I
put together a collection of 16 Boredom Busters to keep your kids
engaged and help save your sanity until school starts up again.
