Make a Big Noise!

Have on Hand: Pots and pans and spoons!

Boredom Buster Description: When my son was young, one of our favorite boredom busters was simply to hand him some pots and pans and plastic ware and a wooden spoon. Instant drum set! He loved experimenting with what kinds of different sounds he could make, and, of course, he loved having permission to be LOUD!
