Bored? Here Are Nine Potentially Fun Suggestions

I finally had some time Tuesday to fix the BryonySeries calendar, so I started sharing the activities for each day on social media yesterday

Here is a list for the first ten. Pick out the one (s) that capture your attention. Each activity has a BryonySeries rationale and a link to the book that inspired it.

And please check back each day. It was Timothy's idea to have a daily calendar of events. While it's time-consuming to assemble it (and I often screw up the size of the date boxes), it stretches my creativity to think outside the box - not a bad idea, right?

Hope some of these virtual events stretches your creativity, too - and bring joy to your life and the lives of those you.

And here you go!


Nov. 1: How much do you know about blood? Take the quiz.

Nov. 2: Check out some kid-friendly crafts for showing appreciation.

Nov. 3: Make a pumpkin volcano.

Nov. 4: Make and taste Thanksgiving recipes from the 1970s.

Nov. 5: Check out WriteOn Joliet. Our anthologies make great gifts.

Nov. 6: Make and taste authentic Thanksgiving recipes from the Victorian era.

Nov. 7: Plan a different Thanksgiving menu this year: go Irish.

Nov. 8: Ever make fake blood? Here's how.

Nov. 9: Make a paper bag turkey - and then "feed" it. Great counting activity for kids.

Nov. 10: Explore a pumpkin with this kid-friendly activity.
