The bliss and bordom of school breaks.  (my kiddlets rarely go to camp so school breaks is camp Mom)

I shared 10 activities and outings for school breaks over at my Yummy Mummy Club column this week (most of them FREE activities).

Need other ideas?

• sledding
• swimming
• mall walking (ok maybe spend a few dollars at the dreaded dollar store)
• hang at the playground (wear snowpants)

Or re-purpose some of the stuff you have around the house…like the cardboard egg cartons you have in the recycling bin from all that holiday baking!  This is a great activity for kids – to re-purpose, get creative, and entertain themselves (while you read Parent Club or make dinner or whatever)

Activity Attack! Egg Carton Organizer

Ever need a place to hold your teeny tiny stuff?  Give an egg carton another life by decorating it to hold your erasers, beads, hair
ties, mini figures or whatever itsy bitsy gear you have.

You will need:

• A cardboard egg carton
• Markers
• Glue
• Scissors
• Old magazine (optional)

Directions:

Use your markers
to draw designs on the egg carton (vines, rainbows, swirls, polka dots, graffiti, whatever you like).

Use scissors to cut out letters of the magazine headlines to spell out your name.  Glue these letters onto your egg carton
organizer to show the world to whom the teeny tiny stuff belongs.

A great way to recycle a cardboard egg carton while organizing your stuff and decorating your room!
