Movie Day

Break out the popcorn maker, spread out blankets and pop in a family favorite movie to entertain the kids.

Veggie Delight

Teach young minds a new skill when the sun refuses to shine. Download easy recipes from the Internet and bake cookies, boil pasta and craft a meal the entire family can enjoy. Create smiling faces when making platters of vegetables with scrumptious dips.

Hop to a Happy Place

Hopscotch in the driveway is always a family favorite, but if the sun is not shining, create an indoor playing field. Use bright painter’s tape to line hardwood floors or carpet into a hopscotch board for those little feet to find a happy place to jump.

Filtered Artwork

There is no need to purchase construction paper when coffee filters are on hand for art projects. Create snowflakes for children to cut out or color with this household supply.

Roll the Dice

Craft a life-size game with children on those rainy days. With a few large boxes, children can paint the structures white and paste black circles on the exterior before rolling the dice and creating their own indoor game.
