101 Things for Kids to do on a Rainy Day


Book Description

'I'm bored' must be the most frightening words in a child's vocabulary, and how to keep kids entertained is something that keeps many of us awake at night. 101 Things for Kids to do on a Rainy Day is a brilliant collection of creative (and occasionally crazy) games, activities and projects to do when you're stuck indoors - without having to go anywhere near a TV or computer screen! Why not grow a windowsill herb garden, make your own jigsaw, or learn to play the glasses? Get crafty with decoupage and salt dough, or play detective by dusting for fingerprints. Exciting makes include terrariums and kaleidoscopes, whilst wacky games cover everything from Balloon Stomp to Sticky Note Scramble. All 101 ideas only require materials that you'll already have around the house. With a wealth of ingenious and fun suggestions to keep you amused, you might not even notice that the rain has stopped. The activities are written with children aged 5+ years in mind but it's your call as to how much help, support and age-appropriate supervision they might need ... make whatever adjustments are necessary.
