Rain, rain, go away

Rain, rain, go away, we want to go out to play!
Here are some awesome ideas to do with your kids while it continues to pour outside:
  • build a fort in the living room with your couch cushions and a giant blanket (then climb inside and read a book together)
  • have a family movie night (a good recommendation: Rio)
  • have a scavenger hunt for shapes
  • practice writing letters with fun items such as noodles, pretzels, shaving cream (the bathtub is a great place for this), play doh, and SO much more
  • take a trip to your local library (ask for a Pigeon book by Mo Willems)
  • make homemade popsicles by pouring juice into ice cube trays, cover with foil, then poke toothpicks or popsicle sticks through foil into each square
  • draw a picture
  • dig out all that new school clothing and put on a fashion shoot/show
  • make a rainbow craft by gluing fruit loops onto paper
  • play on the website Starfall
