Every summer, somewhere around week two, my house hits the wall. The novelty of no school wears off, the screens come out and the kids start climbing the walls. Despite the mounds of games, slime and books in our house, the "I'm bored!" complaints are inevitable. With kids at different ages, the answers never quite land — what thrills the five-year-old bores the eleven-year-old old to tears, and vice versa.
So I built a small tool to fix it, and because it cost me nothing to make, I'm giving it away. I'm calling it The Summer Box. It's a tiny activity finder you keep open on your phone or tablet. Just tap a couple of buttons and it hands you ideas that fit the ages you've got and the time you can spare. No accounts or ads and it runs entirely on your own device.
