My husband is a genius when it comes to finding new and interesting things to do. He seems to have a knack of knowing what we enjoy individually and as a family and his ideas help to make family time fun. As the kids have got older it’s been harder to find cheap ways to lure the kids from their rooms to spend time with us old fogies but my husband came through with this little gem; the You to Do, Missions to Accomplish chart.
This chart has 5 columns and spaces for 5 names and below it is a list of a wide variety of different activities. There is literally something for anyone and for every season; you get to tick the chart when you catch a snowflake on your tongue and when you swim in the sea! There are also different sizes of challenge; you could spend 5 minutes a day for a week learning a new word each day or you could spend a few seconds feeding the birds.
My kids immediately loved this idea and are both asking when they can make home made pizza or flip pancakes so they can tick those boxes. I also love the idea that there are so many tasks and the variety is such that this will keep everyone interested for quite a while and if anyone should say they are bored I can challenge them to a quick task like, draw a self portrait.
Definitely a 10 out of 10 for the You to Do Chart which you can buy here.
