(This post contains affiliate links) There is NOTHING worse than hearing the words; “I’m Bored!” as a parent. Which is why we all need some boredom busters in our back pocket, right?
Hearing the dreaded – I’m bored – makes us feel that we aren’t doing as much as we should to keep our kids entertained, while also knowing that we are going to have to listen to whining for the next hour. Usually, while said child tries to work out what to do….
Being bored IS good for our kids, it helps them to use their imaginations to find things to do. But that DOESN’T mean we don’t need a few ideas in our locker once in a while to help out. So we have put together a fabulous Boredom Busters Gift Guide for you (kids aged 4-9), and the best thing is you can WIN THEM ALL! The bundle of prizes includes:
- Gorgeous Razor S-Kick scooter (from Re:creation Ltd) for 6+ (RRP £39.99),

We hope you agree that this should keep your kids from getting too bored, as well as encouraging them to get outside a little more too.
We reserve the right to change prizes depending on stock levels, but this would be of similar value of course, and still relevant to your kids. The giveaway for this bundle will close on Thursday 9th May at 11.59pm. Hopefully with these boredom busters, you might just get 15 minutes to yourself for a sit down?!!?

Zimpli Kids slime bundle
We have a few sets of slime to keep them entertained too (sorry!), helping to make for some rather fun, but slightly messy baths.
Gelli Baff
Gelli Baff is a great bath time product that lets you turn your bath into a goey bit of fun; then with another application of a separate powder, back into coloured water to drain it away. Easy clean up. And no slime/goey stuff on the carpet!
Slime Baff
Slime Baff turns your bath into a gooey, oozy bath of slime. So pretty similar to Gelli Baff but slime instead!
Fuzzikins bedtime bunnies (RRP £9.99)
If you re looking for something a little bit “cute” then you can’t go far wrong with these toys from Interplay: the Bedtime Bunnies. These are ideal for 4+, and there are three bunnies to decorate, and then create a personalised sleeping bag for. The craft kits come with:

The models are designed to take 10-20 minutes to glue together, and are excellent for the kids to collect and display in their rooms.
Hubelino construction toy – ball track (RRP £34.99)
A boredom busters gift guide wouldn’t be complete without a construction toy now, would it? However, we have opted for something a little bit different; this is a ball track from Hubelino. A marble run with a difference. This is a good toy for slightly older children to get creative and problem solve. They will love working out how to best get their ball through the track. It is compatible with Duplo, but there is more than enough within this set to keep the kids entertained (45 pieces in the set).
Hexbug Lil’ Nature Babies Icy Cavern (RRP £24.99)
Hexbug are well known for their crazy little robotic insects – but have you heard of their range of Lil’ Nature Babies? This are a lovely range of toys for 3 to 6 year olds, designed to raise awareness of endangered animals globally.
This little play set includes Sura the polar bear, as well as rather a cute little seal. There are some delightful little features in the playset including:
- Wobbly iceberg,
- Secret door that reveals a slide,
- Northern Lights which turn into a nightlight, and most fun of all
- Sura the polar bear will make noises in response to your child’s and your touch.
What is not to like about this range of toys from Hexbug?
Ravensburger Funny Bunny (RRP £19.99)
A cool game from Ravensburger; the aim of which is for you to get the bunnies up the hill so they can get their hands on the succulent carrot at the top! The game includes:

Ravensburger Penguin Pile Up (RRP £19.99)

The game comes with:
- 1x “Wobbly” plastic iceberg
- 20 penguin figures for you to balance as you will, and
