Back to School Learning Activities & Boredom Busters for Kids

So even if you aren't hoarding leftover school supplies like I am, you could easily pick up a box of pencils at the dollar store to keep on hand for these simple boredom busting ideas.

You'd be surprised how much learning can be accomplished with these pencils. We didn't write with them or even sharpen them. You honestly just need a box of regular pencils and a few random materials from around the house. 

And just like all of our other boredom buster ideas, I try to focus on low prep or zero prep activities. These back to school boredom busters certainly fall into that low or zero prep category, so go ahead and grab some pencils and dig into these fun ideas.
