Since Lil Blue's shoulder is broken he is off school for the next for weeks! This is week one and he is bored out of his gourd! Any ideas to keep a one armed kid busy? He can't use his right arm at all and is right handed. So coloring is a bust, and he is already bored with the TV. Idk what to do with him.
Lots of "wax off "? LOL seriously though mandigutterrose has it right. - Boundin

I wish, we live 3 1/2 hours away - MrBlue 232.3 #1207 12:36AM
He wouldn't tolerate the drive down. - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 12:38AM
If we lived close enough, we'd be there every day! πππ - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 12:40AM
That'd be something I'd like to do when I have only one arm capable. π - kristian 1779.9 #43 12:45AM
Have you checked out Pinterest? So many great DIY kids games, activities and crafts. - Ms.Mouseketeer

Weird how I posted this way down thereππ and now it's mid section. - Ms.Mouseketeer 1000.8 #88 2:14AM
Poor Kid! Have you thought of models or even rockets. Take him to your local craft store there should be loads of them. I know when my husby dislocated his shoulder this is how I kept him from driving me nutty. - MissyluvsDisneyland

How about cards? Teach him to play poker...my 12 year old learned after his brain injury in June. Of course it only takes one arm to clean the toilet, or he could address Christmas cards ;) Hope you are getting a break too...4 weeks of care-giving to a preteen will no doubt have some rough moments! - Darlingwendi

Took his bike off a jump and didn't land it. - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 12:35AM
That stinks! My 4 year old broke his arm this summer. He fell off the thing that you hang from and slide down (kinda like a zip line) at a park. It was his right arm as well and he was right handed.
What about making his own board game? Coming up with the rules making the pieces ect. - disneyfamily06 118.8 #2751 12:40AM

Board games, puzzles, practice writing with the opposite hand then the feet then the mouth, and helping with cooking or baking. - mandigutterrose
156.4 #2203 12:33AM
Ya board games is a GOOD idea. He already did all the work his teacher sent for this week with his left hand. And we made cookies tonight. The computer kept him a little busy tonight. It's mostly during the day when an have stuff to do that he's bored. Lol - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 12:37AM
My husband's suggestion: LEGOS - mandigutterrose 156.4 #2203 12:42AM
He has tons of Legos! I will get them out tomorrow and see what he can build. - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 12:43AM
Little brother suggests a sheet fort. Instantly makes any activity cooler. - mandigutterrose 156.4 #2203 12:44AM
I like the Lego idea and learning to be ambidextrous - cesium55 529.7 #216 12:50AM

That's a good idea Polk! I knew you'ld have a good one! - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 12:42AM
Go on local outings like museums, libraries, zoos, parks... He could take pictures, make videos? Ps My sister had a cast on her hand for a month or so and she practiced writing with her left hand and is still pretty good at it 15 years later! - Minnieday
300.1 #611 12:45AM
He is practicing. We live in Death Valley ππππ only place to visit around here are Joshua Trees. - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 12:50AM
Is Death Valley the park with the singing sand or those mysterious rocks that move? If you hvent seen them you could check them out - cesium55 529.7 #216 12:54AM
The Hiils Have Eyes πππ - MrBlue 232.3 #1207 12:55AM
Cesium we have seen those walking rocks and the signing sand keeps us awake all the time. - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 12:57AM
Lol darn sand. I'd love to check them out. Guess I'm out of ideas - cesium55 529.7 #216 1:31AM
Oh what about making flubber? Its with borax and glue. - disneyfamily06

Lots of video games, bike riding, eating mass amounts of food, computer games, watch tv all day! - Hizbaniz

No bike riding thats how he broke his shoulder. - disneyfamily06 118.8 #2751 12:49AM
He's only have 1 hand/harm so no video games or riding bike since that's how he broke his arm/shoulder - MrBlue 232.3 #1207 12:50AM
That bike is going to the dump! He hurt himself bad on it the week before. His entire thigh was a road rashed mess! - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 1:00AM
So sorry to hear he's hurt. I know just how he feels. I broke my right wrist in two different places when I was 7. Had to wear a cast for 3months. You should try board game, video games if he could hold the controll and computer games. - Bambi.
595.2 #184 12:51AM
He can use the computer with one hand. - Katrayher
739.0 #138 12:53AM
Ya he was on the computer today for a LONG time. Too long prbly. Lol - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 12:58AM
Have him help babysit for Amber? - MimiMouse
1015.6 #87 12:54AM
Maggs doesn't let go of Amber long enough to need a sitter πππ - MrBlue 232.3 #1207 12:57AM
He would torture Amber and then Mags would break his other arm. - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 12:58AM
Ya and tonight we couldn't watch Rudolph until Amber was seated correctly on the couchπ - Mrsblue 692.4 #145 12:59AM
Do you have any board games he can play?! That kills time. - Briana
225.7 #1293 1:00AM
Challenge him to a reading contest. See how many books he can read in one week. Have a prize at the end depending on how many he's read. Yep, I'm no fun. - JediStitch
429.7 #290 1:55AM
Poor kid. Hope he heals fast. Movies, e-books and comics - Elaine
404.3 #322 2:08AM
Did anyone mention puzzles? You have a few tough weeks ahead of you. Good Luck. I have one son that needs to be doing something constantly and the other son is able to chill. My boys love designing new Lego people by printing out or drawing new outfits on blank Sheets of Avery labels. They google templates already made or make new ones in MSWord. Than they print them on shipping labels and than stick them on their Lego people. They make their own super heros and stuff. Keeps them entertained for quite awhile. - jjdq
326.7 #490 4:35AM
Sorry for the lil guy. All of thesr sound like great ideas. How about easy hands-on science experiments at home, like pouring baking soda into some vinegar, mixing corn starch and water to make oobleck, etc. I'm sure you can find lots of these online. - luvMickey
491.7 #242 5:31AM
If he likes to learn maybe you could have him do research on different topics like his favorite animal or places he would like to know about and later discuss it...... - sweetnerdiheartmickey
252.2 #988 5:33AM
Does he have any slot car tracks? My son used to love to build the track and race the little cars on it. - Hesatalkintome
26.8 #4529 5:34AM
The first thing that came to mind was "learn a language." I suppose there are some feeble free resources out there, but otherwise, it could be quite expensive. . . - DelilahJo3
178.6 #1880 8:16AM
mrsblue you know he's gonna be wanting a dirt bike soon if he's already a daredevil with his bicycle! That's how it went with my kid but he actually got hurt less often cause I made him wear all his protective gear. Board games is about all I can come up with too Sorry. - donnievegas
1127.5 #72 8:28AM
Make a gingerbread house- he can add sprinkles and such with his good arm. 😊 - PirateQueenBriezy
291.4 #660 9:33AM
What about like a model car, plane, train something he can build... I think they sell that at michaels.... not sure if that would be to streniouse on his arm tho:-/..... Movies, board games, make a scarp book... man im not good with guys stuff. Hope that the little Blue gets healed soon. - BooEve123
800.3 #115 9:37AM

2507.3 #24 9:43AM
The Disney family site has tons of things to do. Maybe he can surf it and find something he is interested in. I hope he heals quickly. - Sugarbuzz
44.3 #3871 9:47AM
Check on the Family.com web site for activities...I love that site and I don't have kids..there are a lot of Disney Christmas printables and then he can be in charge of Christmas decorations. Or word searches, puzzles, sudoku puzzles ect. - yellowtonka
