Boredom sticks

For 30mins MJ repeated in M's ear that he was bored. As it was the beginning of half term I feared for a week of 'I'm bored' so we came up with a plan. I got a bunch of lolly sticks and together we wrote ideas on each one of things we could so. I wrote 'tidy my room', 'read a book' etc and he wrote 'play lego', 'screens' etc. I put the stick in a jam jar while he built a stick dispensing machine from lego! The first stick out was 'hama beads'. He spent 4 hrs that afternoon, at least 4 hrs the next day and a few hours the next day creating minecraft inspired items. I'm still in shock!
