Rainy Day Activities for Kids
With so much rain over the past few weeks and even more on its way, we decided to put together a list of some of our favorite rainy day activities to keep you and your kids occupied when you’re stuck inside! Take a look at some of these awesome projects!
Rainy Day Activities for Kids
What you’ll need:
6 feet of yarn
Two chairs
One balloon
Drinking straw
Scissors
Tape
Instructions: First, tie one of the string to the back of a chair. Then, thread the straw onto the other end of the string. After tying the string to the second chair, attach two pieces of tape (approximately two inches in length) to the middle of the straw. Inflate the balloon without tying the end. Hold onto the opening of the balloon and attach it to the tape. Let go of the opening and watch what happens!
You can tie the string to as many different things in your house as you’d like and watch the balloon rocket blast off!
What you’ll need:
Craft sticks
Assorted colored markers
Sharpie
Glue
Instructions: This one is super easy. All you need to do is have your kids choose a shape they’d like to build, say how many sides each shape has, choose the right amount of craft sticks, color the sticks and glue them together! Take a look at the photo above for an example.
