Rainy Day Activities

Rain sure puts a damper on any outdoor activity for the kids. Especially when there are strong winds and heavy rain and lightening. But finding some indoor activities can be a daunting task when the kids are rather picky and hard to please.

Here are some rainy day activities to try sometime:

• Do a jigsaw puzzle
• Read a book
• Color in some coloring books
• Play dress-up
• Have a talent contest
• Finger paint
• Make crafts
• Watch a movie
• Dance to some music
• Sing together
• Rummage through the toy box
• Make an inside tent/fort
• Play board/card games
• Tell stories
• Make your own word searches/puzzles
• Make/send a card to someone who needs a little encouragement/support
• Bake cookies
• Visit the library
• Go to the movie theater
• Visit a local mall and just hang out
• Visit family and friends
• Invite someone over
• Cook a meal together
• Go for a car ride
• Make paper doll chains and color each one different
• Have a tea party
• Play post office
• Visit a museum
• Visit historical buildings in your area

Anything to keep the kids busy and out of the rain when it's storming is a good thing.
