Whether it's spring break, summer, or some random day off school, you can almost guarantee your kids will be complaining they are bored at some point. It's in their DNA. That's when you have to get creative and whip some genius activity out of your back pocket. (Or, invest in Wubble Fulla)

If you haven't prepped for this situation, that's where I come in. Here's a list of 20 non-screen activities that will keep your kids busy. The first one is my favorite!

1. Play with Wubble Fulla Slime and Wubble Fulla Marbles

The amazing Super Wubble®  Bubble Ball makers have done it again and made another awesome product – Wubble Fulla Slime and Wubble Fulla Marbles!

I think there is a way to keep kids entertained, engaged, and busy without screens. Check out these 20 awesome ideas!Click To Tweet

I don't know about your kids, but mine love soft or squishy things they can play with.

If your kiddos are into how things feel like mine are, they will love these guys.

Wubble Fulla Slime and Wubble Fulla Marbles are so squishy and a blast to play with.

You can toss it. Catch it. Stretch it. Slam it.

Your kids will never want to put in down.

Seriously, they will want to take it to school and show all their friends! They remind me of stress balls but SO much more fun.

Check Out The Video

They come in three sizes: Huge (5″), Big (4″), or Tiny (just under 2 ½”). This slime is filled with the best kind of slime – contained slime!

With the DIY slime craze going on, your kids will love Wubble Fulla Slime, a slime they won't get yelled at for making a mess with.

On the other hand, Wubble Fulla Marbles remind me of these DIY stress balls we made last summer with water beads and balloons.

Wubble Fulla Marbles are so much stronger than those guys that popped after a few squishes.

As with anything, Wubble Fulla Slime and Wubble Fulla Marbles are not indestructible. You can't go absolutely nuts playing with these guys and not expect them to get a hole.

They still are super fun while they last!

Both of my kids were beyond thrilled to receive these. You should have seen their faces light up with excitement.

That's how you know something will make a great gift!

Wubble Fulla Slime and Wubble Fulla Marbles are recommended for children ages 6 and older and retail for $14.99 (Huge), $9.99 (Big), and $7.99 (Tiny).

    My kids would definitely love both the slime and marble filled Wubbles! I love that they are contained within something, that is a fantastic way for them to play with it mess free!

      Fair warning though, they can be too rough with them or they will bust. Learned that the hard way!

    A lot of good things listed here. I am old and remember we loved summer, and I don’t think we ever complained about being bored. We would be out of the house bright and early and so were our friends. We had bikes, dirt and creative minds just to list one thing. We would go home for lunch or mom would yell for us then back out the door.

    I dont have children, but when I was a child, I hardly ever got bored. I’m a millennial so I assume that had something to do with it, but some of it was just me as a person. I taught myself to read at age 4, and I was reading full books by the age of 5. I was playing piano at age 3, learning to read music before I knew how to read. I spent time with friends, and I loved to learn. I loved to talk to my mother, and learn about the world.

    I don’t have children, but I have a niece and two nephews. They aren’t old enough to get bored yet. My oldest nephew is five, and he is always coming up with something to do. 🙂

    When my grandchild is bored, she watches TV or does paper crafting.

      We’ve been doing the dog park a lot lately. Our pup is still scared but she braves up after a bit.
