For the last three days it has been raining every minute of the day. I live on a tropical island where it rains very often, but having lots of water for so much time… it can drive your kids crazy! It is cold outside (it is just 65 degrees but for us that is pretty cold), and there is water everywhere, so the best thing is to spend some indoor family time.

According to the Weather Channel there are many activities you can do to have fun with kids during a rainy day. Here are some of them:

• Paint a picture of a rainbow
• Have an indoor picnic
• Make a bird feeder
• Jump over mud puddles
• Play a rainfall trivia game
• Act out a play
• Do a rain dance
• Make a fort out of the kitchen table

There are many other ideas to have fun with your kids. On Kinderinfo.com I found a couple of good choices that encourage quality family time. Making cookies does not have to be just a Christmas tradition, you can make it an indoor fun activity. Remember that singing, dancing, watching a movie or just playing a board game are simple ways to let your kids know that there is fun inside the house. If your kids still want to go outside, grab a raincoat and boots and have fun in the water.

What we did as a family today? We just got into bed, cuddled each other, had a pillow fight, slept together, ate and got back to bed. Thinking about it… it wasn’t a bad day after all. What is left to say? Grab your family and have some great rainy day fun. Even if it is not raining you can always have a great time with your family.
