There are probably a million and one things a person can do to not be bored, but here’s our list of things to help you get out of that rut. 

  • Draw With An Official World's Smallest Etch-A-Sketch

    They say go big or go home. In this case, I’m taking the opposite approach because by going small I’m thinking big, or well just outside of the box. This is a World’s Smallest Etch-A-Sketch, a toy that many have used to pull themselves out of boredom since 1959. Now you can have it in a mini version. Think about how hard you’ll have to think to come up with cool designs?!
