Stuck at home? Bored? Are you looking for screen free activities to keep your kids busy? Check out this list of 80 indoor activities for kids.

This list should help with those “mom, I’m bored” moments. How many times does your kid say that in a day?

My kids can say that a lot. They have plenty to do, I just think they can’t process what to do.

When they can’t think of anything to do, we look at the list and decide on something to do.

I included a free printable of the list of indoor activities for kids. This way you can print it out and hang it on your refrigerator. You will be prepared for when they say “mom, I’m bored.”
