Synopsis
Picture this: it's filthy weather outside and the telly's been on for too long. Or over in the park, you've all had enough of the swings, and the sandpit has lost its appeal. Or stuck in a traffic jam yet unable to face another round of I-Spy. You know you're the grown-up but that you need help, this instant, to avert the inevitable wails...Don't panic! I'M BORED!...is full of fun and original ideas to amuse and enthuse children of all ages, at home, indoors, outdoors, while travelling, or even at the beach. And you don't need special equipment or to spend lots of cash either, just a whiff of imagination. With I'M BORED!...parents can re-discover how to play while also amusing the kids. Indeed, it's entertainment for all the family, and means nobody need ever again be stuck for ideas for what to do next - it's a promise!

Customer Reviews

a brilliant read
This book is written in a user friendly way, with pictures so you can even let young children look thorugh the book and help decide what they want to play. There are games which neither my collegues or I have ever heard of befor! There are categories such as in the car, on the beach and in the home, giving brilliant games for all situations. I will definatly be buying the sequal for more hours of fun!

Finally some ideas for bored kids
Excellent book for parents on ideas to keep our kids entertained.
We all have days when our children do not know what to do, they are bored of their existing toys and games and this books comes handy then.
Simple activities that will keep then occupied for hours.

Great for the holidays!
There are some great ideas in this book that will keep the kids entertained throughout the summer holidays. Be careful with some of the more adventurous games, though! Despite having earned the respect of his peers, Horace's victory in 'Knock the Policeman's Helmet off' also earned him an ASBO.
