The rainy weather has come back this week and that means, I need to brainstorm a few indoor activities for the tots to keep busy with while we are indoors. They don't mind repeating the same activity, in fact, when we do pretend play, we often repeat a scene multiple times!! Kids are so creative and hilarious.
Here are a few Indoor activities we have enjoyed doing when we have rainy days and limit our time outdoors.
- Painting with Fruit Puree. They started out eating it, but then decided to paint with it instead ;)
- Pretend play Cinderella, cleaning windows (Give them a spray bottle full of water and a towel! My daughter was busy for awhile on this)
- Counting macaroni, transferring it into cups from a bowl
- Airport, Hotel, Shops - Can you tell we love Pretend Play at our house?
- Water painting on window
- Hide a toy and they find it or traditional Hide and Seek
- "Washing dishes"
- Guess what's missing from a box of toys or on a blanket (we also played this on our recent picnic).
- Making 'Moon Dough' *1 cup conditioner, 2 cups Cornstarch
- More Baking!! Cookies, cakes, breads.. whatever you're in the mood for.
- Reading our Old and New(we borrow books from the Book bus every few weeks and we rotate between their favourites)
- Puzzles! The toddler has started to enjoy helping me with puzzles:)
- Playdoh!
- Cutting paper and gluing it on paper (supervised if they aren't so confident with scissors)
- Stickers and Sticker books!
- Rubberband ball
Enjoy the indoor play and remember, don't forget your snacks!
