This giveaway has ended. Congrats to our winner, LaTanya T.!
Summer is so close and the kids are pumped. They can’t wait to sleep in, hit the pool, play outside. It’s great.
It’s great until…it isn’t. There comes that point in even the best Summer when the kids utter those few words that make a mama cringe.
“I’m B-O-R-E-D”
Nails on a chalkboard, am I right? Of course we can think of a million things for them to do: vacuum the hall, clean the toilets…but what they really want is something new and exciting. I definitely try to stock up on things to pull out over the course of the Summer. Games are great. The kids can pull them out on rainy days, or days when it’s just too darn hot to go outside. I also love things like NERF guns because they can be used inside or outside. I blogged a lot at Christmas about the NERF Rebelle line. Aside from being an awesome concept about giving girls the power to fight back against brother, it has provided hours of dependable action at this house!
I’m excited to give one lucky KCM reader a Hasbro Summer Boredom Busters prize pack to save everyone’s sanity.
The world’s favorite crossword game has never been more attractive with its brand new look in 2014. It’s your word against mine in this the classic game of strategy, fun and creative wordplay. Use the letters in your rack to form words on the board. You don’t need to be a word whiz to enjoy a good game of SCRABBLE. The right letters on the right squares can turn even the smallest words into big scores – Every Letter Counts!
It’s time for target practice with the NERF REBELLE STAR SHOT target set! Compete with friends and test your skills in a bow-blasting competition. Pinpoint the target with the red laser light and watch as the darts fly. With two different dart colors – one for you and one for your opponent – it is easy to see where each dart lands on the target. Keep honing your aim as you score 1, 3, 5, and finally 10 points!
Lesson one: zombies don’t take naps. Be ready any time of day for a zombie invasion with the ZOMBIE STRIKE FUSEFIRE blaster at your side. Firing glowing NERF VORTEX discs, this blaster features a continuous loading system for blasting zombies with a foam barrage. The curving and ricocheting discs allow zombie hunters to battle their undead opponents in an all new way.

definitely the park, although we did purchase a pool membership for this summer so we’ll see if that works too.
We go to the reservoir go fishing and swimming. We also camp and go to a few festivals.

I enjoy scavenger hunts outside the house on the nice warm sunny summer days and we do inside hunts when it’s raining or too hot to play outside and it seems to keep the kids entertained for a little bit at least.
