Get a large plastic container and put this item inside it (make sure to have a lid for it) Now put this item in your house (but supervise if they're young) and watch the children's imagination FLOW! You'll save sand or sensory products and the kids stay a bit cleaner.... Put it in the backyard (supervise the very young child or children). Always, rotate the toys to keep from having (toy boredom) This works with food=food boredom, snack=snack boredom, class=boredom, child's bedroom=bedroom boredom, dvds, cd's and ect.. If you had carrots for snack 6 days in a row --wouldn't you get bored! same with toys! Put some up in the closet-pull one new one out a day and put one up--easy breezy. You'll have a cognitive, positive, well adjusted happy child... Is Your Child A Future Little Genius??? (this will help them on that life path)
