Rain Rain Go AWAY, Come Again Another Day…. We all know that song way to well from our own childhood. When we were kids that was a song heard loudly among our peers on those dreary rainy days we often dreaded. Well today is the day that I am now playing that song in my head silently as the rain pours outside.
I have learned that no matter how hard you try to plan for a rainy day when you have kids nothing ever goes according to plan. Finding activities can be interesting especially when you have children under the age of ten years, in my case that makes four!
Between me multi-tasking and trying to keep the peace they all (referring to the kids) have managed to pull out everything in existence and some in the house… Kids they can find anything even the things you don’t want them to find and for us parents that can be a real challenge especially because the summer is upon us. Rainy days have become a problem, like this week here in Wichita they are saying rain ALL week long. Yeah that is going to be super fun (as I write this post in sarcasm) the kids are fighting over a plastic Easter egg… The joys of sibling rivalry???!
Oh yes…Rainy Days! It looks like me and the kiddos are going to be tackling this weather with a few inside activities! The best way to deal with a day like this is to enjoy that valuable time with your kids if able. Read a book. Write. Do some crafts!
Here are a few fun activities that have been really helpful for me when I am stuck in the house with ALL four of my kids.
1. Sing Silly Songs… the three year old loves this one!
2. Read books- My older two favor this activity due to the silliness of the story or the creativity that goes into the effort of telling a story.
3. Baking YUMMY treats!- No kid can deny they don’t love baking with Mommy 😉
4. Playing Board Games
There are so many creative ways to pass the time. It may seem hectic at times but remember no matter how trying the day can get on a rainy day try and take a deep breath and try something different even if it is out of your comfort zone. Kids are resilient and usually don’t notice when you are out of your comfort zone. Have fun, be creative, and let loose!!!
