ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway and yes it is wet today! I tend keep myself busy in the house doing all the jobs I don't want to do when it is sunny! Like sorting through my wardrobe, hoovering around all the edges and corners of rooms etc. It means that when it is sunny - I know they are done and don't feel bad about relaxing in the garden. I also spend more time cooking - I often cook from scratch when it is dull and wet as it takes longer and the time passes more quickly! Plus it is satisfying and rewarding!
ReplyDeleteGo out into it and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteget out a good board game
ReplyDeletePuzzles are always good to do on a rainy day or some home baking.
ReplyDeleteBake lots of treats! Get creative. @xxfluffywhitexx
ReplyDeleteCrafts! Keep old newspapers, and magazines- they're brilliant to use to cut out pictures and words to make collages and posters :)
ReplyDeleteWe have some pens that we can draw on the windows with , so we draw the sun and happy people playing with ponds and ducks , and wipe clean and start again
ReplyDeleteMaking hideouts and playing games like hide and seek and board games
ReplyDeleteWe enjoy cooking together!

I doubt my son will do the same with his children, which is why they need a Granny!

ReplyDeleteGREIG SPENCER GREIGSPENCER@LIVE.CO.UK
To get loads of sheets of paper and let them go wild with crayons
ReplyDeletePut different activities in a line down the length of a room i.e colouring, lego, fuzzyfelt, jigsaw etc and set a timer for a certain number of minutes. When the timer goes off they move onto the next activity. My girls loved doing this
ReplyDeletePlay with toys which haven't been used for a while.
ReplyDeleteTake a walk in the rain
ReplyDeleteMaking a shops always fun xx
ReplyDeletebuild a "clubhouse", have indoor picnics and watch some dvds
ReplyDeletebuilding a den by draping sheets over the furnature or over a clothes horse is always a good way to keep little ones entertained. As is making some playdough with flour, salt and food colouring and letting them bash it to bits with the rolling pin. Another good one if it's too miserable to get the paddling pool out is to put a couple of inches of water in the bath, get loads of water toys and let them splash, squirt and pour to their hearts content @piperanddaisy
ReplyDeletelego. we've made loads of weird and wonderful things on a rainy day!
ReplyDeletebaking is our rainy day thing, or puddle jumping!

ReplyDeleteRainy day tips: Play lots of role play games - shops, schools, dress-up, café's etc. There's lots you can do indoors on rainy days! More things we often do are baking, indoor ball pool, play-doh, reading, colouring, drawing, writing and spelling, jigsaws etc. My daughter loves to play with her dolls, Playmobil and Lego too and my son loves his Mega Bloks, dancing to music and watching Thomas the Tank Engine! :)
