Do your kids tell you they’re bored, especially during the summer? Instead of turning to more screen time, try this fun cup stacking activity! It’s a great summer boredom buster or rainy day activity to keep their little minds and hands active.

You will need:

Cups (any kind! Plastic or paper, and its fun to mix them together, too! Find some on Amazon here)

Small toys or blocks (optional)

Instructions:

Show your child how to build a base with the cups and then keep stacking them taller! Make it a game to see who can build the tallest tower, or the widest tower. Add in blocks or small toys and figurines to make a castle. Roll a ball to knock the tower over. The sky is the limit! Once your child starts playing and their imagination kicks in, they will think of so many ways to play!
