I might be stuck at home this summer with my 5 year old son. He's been having a difficult time being home already, and he goes crazy when he's bored.
What are some ideas of activities and things to keep him busy?

Plant a garden, water and weed it daily. Water balloons. Sprinkler. Designate a spot on the yard for him to dig with shovels and trucks, or fill a small kiddie pool with soil if you don’t have a yard. Arts n crafts. Bike riding. Scootering. Make letter or pictures to mail to friends or relatives. Work on a long term project together that you can spend 20 min a day on. Scavenger hunt in a park if you have one to go to.

Jewish Storytapes (jewishmusic.fm and Shabbat.com for Rabbi Juravel)
ABC Mouse (app is great - we use an ipad for it) - Teaches Abc's, numbers, history, reading comprehension etc.
Water play - with pool or without. Fill up spray bottles, give sponges, rags, buckets, sponja stick, different size containers etc, - give him things to clean like outdoor chairs, highchair little kids bike...
Baking Challah - teach him how to braid in different ways, make cinnamon buns/rugelach too
Crafts, coloring and worksheets
Good toys can keep them busy for hours - clics, playstix, straw toy, puzzles
Mattresses, cushions, pillows can be a great activity - building forts, obstacle courses
Outdoor play - riding bikes, chalk.
Running simple errands - like taking out garbage, bringing in mail, going to corner store (if you live in Israel)
Playing with other kids his age is also important

do you have outdoor space?
does he have friends in the neighborhood you can swap off playdates with?
