Thanks to Papemelroti I have 40 boredom busters that I’m going to share with you to keep kids busy, developing skills, being creative, learning new stuff, all day, everyday!

This is one of the boredom busters that I was able to do during my one week (no classes) vacation. Dazzle your friends and family with this trick! Remember, practice makes perfect. Don’t be sad if you can’t do it the first time.

For this trick you should all be sitting down together.

You need tissue paper
salt shaker
coin

Instructions:

1. Put the coin on the table in front of you. Tell everyone you are going to attempt to punch the coin through the table with this trick.
2. Put the salt shaker on top of the coin.
3. Cover the salt shaker with the tissue, making sure that it shows the shape of the salt shaker.
4. Here comes the tricky part – tell them that you are going to try to push the coin trough the table!!!
   All their eyeswill focus on the coin – meanwhile, with your hands holding the tissue over the shaker, drop the salt shaker on your lap. The tissue holds its shape and it seems the shaker is still there.
5. Finally, put the tissue over the coin, and slam your fist down on it – they will all wonder where the salt shaker went!!!

Now I know what to do next time we don’t have classes. Do it with the whole family and surely you will have lots of fun!
