Rainy Day Activities for the Kids
So the kids are stir-crazy because the rain won’t stop coming down, the house is a mess and they’re constantly asking for something to do. You’re home all summer with the kids and you’re stuck inside. This can remind you have a cold day in winter where you are cramped up and have cabin fever, here are some ideas to beat the rainy day blues:
Create a Town in a Cardboard Box
If you have a giant cardboard box, why not draw a town on the bottom of the box, with roads, tracks, bridges, parks, car-parks, etc. Add some wooden building blocks, cars, trains and some wooden/plastic animals. Then let your kid’s imagination run wild. Older kids could help with decorating/creating the scene. Here is a video with some ideas:
