Dig A Hole
Add to Daddio CalendarJust like it sounds. But don’t discount it – kids love a good hole and collecting worms in the process. Makes great cover for a pine cone war. Turn it into a hideout by gluing leaves and pine straw to a plywood cover for an ultimate ambush. Competitive, goal oriented boys in particular may spend hours or days digging a bunker. Deeply therapeutic – just like pressure washing. Give them praise for their hard work and accomplishment that they will sure take pride in, even though it’s just a dumb hole.
If there’s a small stream around, a variant of this activity is to build a dam. They will spend hours building and repairing the dam, and take great pride in doing so.
