With just a little bit of planning and thought, parents can guarantee themselves stress free and budget-friendly rainy days by creating movie nights, indoor picnics and crafting. These activities should help keep your little ones busy no matter the weather.
Rainy day activities for kids:
Board Game Championship
Select your family’s three favourite board games and get playing in a mini championship – a mixture of themes works best. Winners could even be rewarded with edible prizes when it reaches the inevitable afternoon-slump.
‘British Tapas’ Indoor Picnic
Take out a blanket and host an indoor picnic full of a mix of picnic favourites. Don’t forget to bring out some sweet treats to top off this one-of-a-kind meal, which can be enjoyed by the entire family.
Indoor Sports Day Video Workout
To burn off some steam, put on some activewear and gather around the television to follow some fun workout challenges. Star jumps and high energy music will certainly cease any boredom.
Film Marathon
A classic choice is to select a family favourite film, perhaps even an entire series, get comfy and supply some cinema snacks for easy and immediate entertainment. Popcorn and other sweet treats are guaranteed crowd-pleasers.
Reading Den
A quiet, and relaxing idea is to create a cosy reading nook with blankets and cushions to entice your kids to delve into their home library. Nothing beats rediscovering past favourite books surrounded by fairy lights.
Teddy’s Tea Party
Get out the crafting box to help your kids create invitations for their favourite soft toys to attend a tea party held in your home. Later, set up a blanket and plastic food and cutlery to enjoy an imaginative afternoon together.
Music Studio
Even if you don’t have instruments at home, gather pots, pans and wooden spoons to tap into your children’s musical abilities. Even create your own shakers and maracas by putting dried pasta into cardboard containers.
Memory Box Crafting
Using old shoe boxes, a glue-stick and some card, help your kids create their own ‘memory boxes’ where they can store their precious trinkets and certificates. This activity provides a wholesome, sentimental moment together.
Bake-Off
Get out recipe books or children’s cooking websites and decided together on a knew cake or dessert to bake. If doing this with younger kids, perhaps jump straight to the sweet-decorating final stage where arguably the most fun lies.
