Fun on a Rainy Summer Day with your Kids

It’s a rainy day, the kids are out of school for the summer and you are asking yourself ,”what can I do for fun with the kids?” Here are ten great indoor summer fun activities:

1. Play Dress-Up. Collect hats, gloves, purses,  gowns, and more at a garage sale or thrift store. Put on your new garments, let your imagination take over and have fun dressing up.
2. Rent or pick up a DVD from your library or online that takes place in another country. Watch it with your kids and talk about what you’ve learned.
3. Bake cupcakes in ice cream cones and then decorate them. Voila! Cupcake Cones!
4. Home spa day. Have fun painting each other’s nails bright colours and styling your hair with heat-free styling tools.
5. Participate in your local library’s summer reading program, or have your own. Let the kids pick a theme for the summer and sign out a book to read each week or month on the topic.
6. Summer Camp in. Put the sleeping bags on the living room floor and have a family slumber party with flashlights and camping foods.
7. Build a Lego castle. Grab the legos and make it a family project.
8. Dance in the Rain. Take your kids out during a gentle summer rain. Put on their swimsuits and rain boots, catch raindrops in your mouth, and jump in the puddles.
9. Play board games. Choose fun and interactive games that will keep everyone engaged.
10. Write and create cards to send to family and friends. Use stickers, crayons and cut-outs from magazines.
