Rainy Days

[sophree]

What do you get up to when it's the summer holidays and the weather is beyond miserable!
I have a 2 DD 6 and 20months.
Really struggling on things to do !

Lots of crafty stuff / baking / reading books / building caves from tables & blankets type things (also the occasional DVD ).

It's worth having a look on The Imagination Tree too, but possibly via their FaceBook page - I just went to find the website link for you (usually //www.theimaginationtree.com) and it seems to have had some malware attached to it (claiming to be from the University of Utah).

We go out anyway - it's seldom as bad as it looks from the inside. Then again I've no choice as the baby will only sleep in the pram...

Museums
Rinsing around on buses - sometimes we buy an all day ticket and just get the next bus we see and see where we end up (not a good plan when potty training)
Bus to town to main library; sand whiches from Boots, park.

My rural-driven-everywhere children think that going on the bus is a massive treat.

Swimming

I hate crafts and art with a passion, mainly because of the mess afterwards.
On rainy days here, with a 3&5 yr old, we go to the library, go to a cafe, go visiting, go to an indoor museum or simply stay in and watch TV, read and they play with their toys. We bake or cook occasionally and then eat what we've made.

I have been know to deck them out from head to toe in waterproofs and either go for a walk along the sea front or go to the local park. The park is usually completely empty which is good, I sit on the bench and get some peace! Once we get back they are more likely to settle and have a play or watch a film.

There are many thing you can do. One of my favourites is reading book , playing indoor games and singing.

I often do some of these with my sun. Well he is usually playng on drums or gitar.
