Fun Indoor Activities for a Rainy Summer Day

Spread the love

All moms have heard, “I’m bored,” from their kiddos more times than we care to count. So, my eleven-year-old daughter, Ainsleigh, and I have come up with some ideas to keep your kids occupied on a rainy summer day. All of these activities are things you can do together!

  1. Play cards: Crazy Eights, Go Fish, War and Old Maid are a few simple ones.
  2. Crafting: do basic cross stitch, make cards for relatives and friends, catch up on thank you cards, make Fun Loom bracelets, color in fancy coloring books, do water color painting, make bead necklaces, do dry clay shapes, play with Play-do, build Lego forts and cars, and make puff paint t-shirts
  3. Build indoor forts with sheets and pillows in the living room or play room.
