Rainy days can feel like a curve-ball on holidays, especially with kids bouncing off the walls. But with a little imagination (and maybe a few cushions), a grey sky becomes the perfect backdrop for indoor adventures.
Here are 6 creative ways to turn a rainy day into a memorable one – no sunshine required!
Living Room Theatre
Create a stage and let the kids put on a play or puppet show in your transformed living room! They can write the script, assign roles, make costumes if they have dress up clothes, and perform for everyone. Think like Little Women!
What you’ll need:
- Dress up clothes
- Blankets for a stage curtain
- Stuffed animals make a good audience!
- Papers & crayons for tickets or programmes
Build a Fort
There’s just something magical about a rainy-day fort. Grab pillows, blankets, couch cushions, and let kids create a cozy castle, reading nook, or secret hideout.
Fun additions:
- Fairy lights or a flashlight
- Books or puzzles inside
- Snacks served on a tray
Bake something simple
Most kids love getting messy in the kitchen, and a rainy day is the perfect excuse to bake some tasty treats! Whether it’s muffins, cookies or savoury snacks, kids can get stuck in measuring, mixing and decorating!
To keep it easy, choose recipes with only a few ingredients, and use silicone trays for less mess!
