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:

 Make a Magazine

Set up a family News Desk at the kitchen table! Decide on what stories are going to go in the magazine. Could be a profile of someone in the family, maybe an interview with a grandparent, will someone take photos or draw pictures. Maybe there could be a fun corner with a puzzle or a joke in it.

Lego’s

Always a winner (also Linkin Logs)
