Be sure to read the answers to last week's question or leave an answer.
Today's question: What fun activities do you do with children on rainy days?
My answer: We had a lovely rain Saturday. It made me smile to hear the boys in the garage laughing and laughing. When I went to check they were tossing a white ball back and forth across the garage. Daddy was catching it in one of Caleb's plastic hats and Caleb was using a sand pail.
Please leave your ideas in the comments and come back next week to read the ideas of others.

We draw and paint and read and watch TV and play trains. And lots lots more, as we spend about 6 months of the year indoors around here! :)

Well, if it's just raining, taking a walk in the rain and jumping in puddles is always fun. So is watching the rain splash into the puddles, or from the inside, onto the window.
Indoor fun things to do would be baking together, playing board games, making play dough or some kind of craft.
Put on puppet show. Don't have puppets, make them from paper pages or socks.
Save paper towel and toilet paper tubes and give them some scraps of stuff and glue and let them loose!
Make a musical instrument using a tube or a comb.
Write(draw) a book.
Write a play and act it out.
Give them a digital camera (a cheapy of course) and send them on an assignment to photograph everything blue (or another color) in the house. Then let them edit their finds on Picassa 3 or something simple like that.
Make macaroni jewelry.
I could go on and on, but I'll stop here. Rainy days are merely an opportunity to make a memory!
Christopher (10 years old) and I like to play board games.
