Never hear 'I'm bored' again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
In the new book "Unbored: The Essential Field Guide to Serious Fun," two chapters deal with the game Foursquare. That emphasis reflects how effectively this new book encourages kids ages 8 to 13 to immerse themselves in activities from both the past and the present. The book never loses sight of the many ways kids can and should make time for some honest-to-goodness fun.
"When Josh and I first started this project,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we realized there are a lot of fantastic activity books for kids,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but a lot of them are nostalgic,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Larsen said. "They don't reflect what kids and families are like today. So, we wanted to combine the best of the old with the best of the new."
At a time when both kids and adults are "disappearing into our screens,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," as Larsen says, one of the goals of this book is to encourage kids "to be active participants in their own lives."
"Unbored" is divided into four main chapters -- You, Home,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Society and Adventure -- with almost 50 individual topics, stories and projects per section. For instance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the Home chapter includes "The Secret (Gross) History of Bedrooms" (fun fact: Mattresses have historically contained everything from horse hair to sea moss); a guide to making different types of back-yard forts and shelters; high- and low-tech ways to find a lost pet; and a section about experimenting in the kitchen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including "Toaster Science."
DIY (do-it-yourself) projects are also plentiful in the book -- everything from making a secret book safe to decorating sneakers to constructing a remote-controlled water blaster.
"The time is really right for the makers and the DIY enthusiasts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Larsen said. "These are the kinds of projects that parents can do with their kids,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not in a helicopter-y way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but by prioritizing the process over the end product. "After one section in particular,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 'I thought this was going to be a fun book,' so I knew the tone needed work."
Both Peter and Henrik contributed to "Unbored." One of Peter's essays is about a day he spent visiting a Minneapolis architecture firm, and how he had the chance to try out the AutoCAD computer drawing program. Henrik's contribution features tips on how to make family portraits fun,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including this nugget of wisdom: "Bring candy -- it helps to have a little reward. version of "Unbored" with modifications to the text to make British kids feel that the book was written for them. For instance, a chapter on de-skunking a pet was removed -- no skunks in England -- and a chapter on attending music festivals -- a popular family activity there -- was added.
No matter their location, Larsen hopes kids and parents will dip into the subjects in "Unbored" any way they like. Reader feedback on their website (which is updated daily) has been very positive.
"Parents have commented that they appreciate the fact that we have provided so many ideas that can get kids to walk away from the screen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Larsen said. "We've also gotten several photos from kids showing us the projects they have done. To me, that's thrilling."
