RAINY DAY ACTIVITIES

In LA, when it rains, the city seems to shut down. Here are just a few ideas to entertain the kids until the sun comes out.

Activities for All Ages:

Arts and Crafts

• Since you know your children the best, we suggest Googling Arts and Craft Projects with keywords of what they like to do. Some keyword suggestions would be: paint, draw, clay, play doh, paper mache & collage.

Put on a Show

• Get together a group of kids (or just you and your kid!) to stage a play or talent show. They may need help getting started, so jump start them with opening lines such as : “Once upon a time”, “in a land far far away”, etc.

Some Activities for Older Kids:

Reverse Writing

• Challenge your older child, with a pencil and paper.  See is they can write a sentence backwards, without looking in the mirror. Can they write you a secret message ?

Change of Appearance

• Have your child observe you for a minute. Leave the room, and then return to the room, having changed a small detail in your appearance (put on some lipstick or change your hair, remove a scarf or put on glasses, etc.) Did they notice your Change Of Appearance?

If you want to, and don’t mind the clean up involved– GET WET ANYWAY! Bundle up, put on rain boots, slickers, grab umbrellas and playfully splash around in the puddles. When you’re done, come back in, sit by a fire, drink hot coca, or take a warm bath.
