Blah...on those rainy days I wish I could sleep all day! I don't know about you but my kids get cabin fever easily. They need some way to get their wiggles out so they don"t feel couped up. I have a few ideas to keep those little minds and bodies busy.
....CARD MAKING- get out some construction paper and let the kids color and draw whatever they want. If you really feel frisky, let them finger paint or use chalk on black constuction paper. Then when grandmommie or daddy's birthday comes up, fold in half and add a title on the front and names on the inside. Wah..la...instant card and it saved you from spending 5 bucks at Hallmark.
.....MOVIE TIME- grab some popcorn and a classic movie. Its a great way to get the kids settled down before nap time.
.....WATER CRAZY- now for this one you must go beyond your natural instinct mothers. Let them play in the rain. Get that great plastic pool out and dump some bath toys in it. They will love it...and trust me, they will live through it.
.....MEMORY VERSE- don't forget to practice those memory verses...and rainy days are the best days to catch up.
.....BOOKS- read, read, read....read to your children, have them read to you, or if they are old enough let them read to themselves....this is a great way to increase their vocabulary and thinking skills.
This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to ideas that can kick the gloom out of your rainy day. Keep your mind and body active and that rainy day will fly by.
