    25 Rainy Day Activities for Kids

    Published: Mar 1, 2021 · Modified: Mar 1, 2021 by Niagara Families · Leave a Comment

    It doesn’t hurt to have a list of activities on hand for those days when the rain just doesn’t want to clear up. My kids have fun playing on their own but eventually become bored and turn to me for ideas. And while I like to go on Pinterest for some inspiration, sometimes it’s just easier to have a list handy of fun things to do with your kids indoors (or out). Here is a list of EASY and fun activities to keep kids entertained on those days when you're stuck indoors:

    1. Play board games
    2. Make a fort
    3. Have a dance party
    4. Play dress-up
    5. Do science experiments
    6. Make play dough
    7. Blow up balloons to play with
    8. Set up a tent to read in
    9. Bake bread
    10. Make a book, individually or together
    11. Create marshmallow and toothpick structures

    12. Clean the house together
    13. Do a scavenger or treasure hunt
    14. Make an art gallery – paint pictures, hang them and talk about them
    15. Watch a movie with popcorn
    16. Make cards for relatives
    17. Put a mattress on the floor to jump on
    18. Make homemade bouncy balls

    22. Make masking tape roads
