Turning Outdoor Activities Into Indoor Activities for Rainy Days

When the rain starts falling, it can feel like the perfect excuse to stay indoors, and with a little creativity, you can turn outdoor activities into indoor activities for rainy days! Instead of letting the weather keep your kids cooped up, why not bring the fun inside? With a few simple adjustments, you can transform games, crafts, and even learning experiences into rainy day adventures. Whether it’s an art project, a scavenger hunt, or a dance party, there are endless ways to keep your little ones entertained without ever stepping outside.

We had a lot of fun thinking about how to transform some typically outdoor activities into indoor activities. We had fun testing each of them out! They're all tried-and-tested and can be done with materials you have around the house or can pick up at a dollar store. 

Read on for lots of ideas for indoor fun for kids!

Tomorrow is the last day of school for my kids and I had been thinking about fun crafts and activities to do with them while they're home, leading up to Christmas.

Feature - Julep Blog

The other day I got an email from a representative for Minted.com, asking me to take a look at their website. You can go to their website to create personalized stationary, Christmas Cards, art prints, party décor, gifts, invitations, etc. I am planning to order a couple of things from their website for Talia's birthday party, so I'll comment on those in the future!

For now though, I want to steer you in the direction of their blog, Julep. If you know me, you know that I'm into photography and I love great illustrations. This blog is a collection of great design ideas for decorating, creating, and having fun! (Steps illustrated nicely with beautiful photography) Some of their ideas include products from the website and some don't- some even include free printables!

Here are my Top 5 favourite posts from their blog :

5. Let's start with a simple & fun Christmas Tree craft you can make with your kids.



4. I love these hanging decorations- just made from cardstock! They'd be perfect for a certain polka dot party we're planning for ;)



3. We are in a bit of a birthday mood around here, so how about a balloon chandelier?



2. I love this "Wall of Love" idea! The post includes instructions on how to make an origami heart.



1. And number one is this awesome countdown idea- who knew you could create your own scratch cards with paint and dishsoap?! That is sooo cool! I am going to have to try this with my kids sometime!
