Kids Bored?

If you have a kids cash register, you can play. If you don't you can use a cash box or even a shoe box all dialed out (paint buttons, $ signs, whatever)...

You can use kid money or make your own...also you can use old checks, wallets and debit cards, if you want.

Take the coffee table, set up a check out counter with the register at one end. Set up a store w/ old boxes, cans, fruit, items, junk, whatever you want. Use aprons, make signs, use kid shopping cart and a scale if you have one. Turn the dining room or somewhere into a full on store. I also set up kids chairs in rows of two so they have a "car" to go drive away in. 

This will give them an afternoon's worth of entertainment- it's worth the prep time setting it up all creatively. Honestly, though, it's more fun with a friend or sibling- unless you want to end up playing baggar (snooze)! However, gathering all the stuffed animals to ride in the car and "shop" can work to your advantage.
