There is nothing worse for a kid than having to lay in bed sick... Besides being bothered by feverish brows and aches and pains, it doesn't take them too long to get bored.
Once the novelty of watching movies and playing card games wears off, why not try a simple craft project. The ideas shared here are easy, can be done in bed using a T.V. tray, and are not too messy. Hopefully, they will take the sick child's mind off their stomach ache, sore throat, and other aches - and especially their boredom, at least for for a little while!

My kids love making cards and rubber stamping, but it’s not easy when they are lying in bed!

The heck with the kids! I need some of those ideas for when *I’m* sick
Love the slipper sock idea. I’ve been paying mucho dinero for those, never realizing how easy they would be to make myself. TFS!
Yup, we adults need stuff like this too!
I am passing these ideas along to my sister for the next time my nephew is puny!
