Looking for some boredom busters that cost little to no money to make?
For winter break and indoor fun News 12 Long Island and Momee Friends has you covered.
Here are some fun DIY Game Ideas that the whole family will enjoy.
1. Paper Airplane Game
Take the simplicity of making a paper plane into the ultimate Paper Airplane Game and see who can score the most points. How will your paper plane fly compared to your opponents?
2. Card Holders out of Pool Noodles
Does your child get frustrated holding cards during their favorite card games? or do you have small hands (like me) and get frustrated playing cards too when you can’t hold of them and play?
Use a pool noodle to make an easy and convenient card holder for your card games. Your children can decorate them with stickers and personalize them too.

3. Cup Race Game
Take two plastic clear cups and draw a car on one and a race track on the other with permanent marker. You then will have a fun game that not only helps with fine motor skills but is also a quiet activity your child will enjoy.
