My 5 year old loves reading to her baby sister and also writing stories. Baking cakes, crafts, play doh and Frozen sing a longs are also very popular rainy day activities in our house x

We have a box of craft activities which keeps DD entertained for a while. Failing that a big pile of books and her pop up play tent and she's happy. We get her teddy bears and blankets, cushions off the sofa and biscuits and can spend a happy afternoon in there.

We love to do crafts or watch a film :-)

We like baking cakes, painting and creating, reading books and most importantly planning and building dens with sheets, cushions and chairs

We like playing monopoly and hide and seek!

Lots of baking and craft here - biscuits, bread, cakes and painting

Can't beat making a den with the sofa cushions.....

With a cupboard full of board games, there's plenty to keep my DDs (aged 3 & 5) entertained indoors - the Orchard games are firm favorites! However, it is important that they get some physical activity too, as an outlet - at that point the cushions are thrown from the sofa and they do lots of 'jumping' down onto the cushions. The cushions also double as den walls if they want to build a secret 'play cave' or simply used as a mini trampoline. A game of hide&seek will also help them expend excess energy. For their creative needs, paints, pens and playdough are available too. Stories are always there for calming down time, and cuddling together - usually in their homemade play cave!

My little one loves workbooks (maths, English, science all made fun!)

We also enjoy ball games out in the garden (fireball, naming items as we throw the ball to one another etc etc!)

My children love playing board games, helping do a jigsaw, arts and crafts, baking, daughter likes having her nails done and hair etc, we never have a boring rainy day

Hide and Seek
Baking
Snakes and Ladders
Snap
Tent Making (using duvet over table, then reading books in said 'tent')

We like putting on old clothes and wellies and going for a puddle hunt, we splash in any puddles we find and generally have lots of laughing. When we get home we get dried and in to pjs and then cuddle up with a DVD and hot chocolate. It's a real treat and it feels so wrong because you always say don't splash and everyone hates it when it rains, so the forbidden element makes it all the more exciting.

Kids have had a wee camera all summer to take whatever photos they want, all photos printed out on to just ordinary paper. So our rainy day activities have been letting them make collages out of all their special photos and picture diaries as a keepsake of their summer. They had so much fun that we're going to keep doing it over the year. The collages are lovely hanging in their rooms and are like memory boards

we go on nature trails and collect leaves, grasses etc and take photos, we save these for a wet afternoon and then when we can't go out we get out all the bits and pieces we collected and identify them and stick them in a scrap book, it is more fun than it sounds.

memory card games to keep them educated over the rainy summer days

lots of craft activities

Getting messy! Baking and painting and sticking.... And paper mâché too!

We like using the paddling pool as a ball pit inside. My 1 year old has hours of fun.

I have loads of arts and crafts stuff, painting, printing, sticking and jewellery making. She is only 3 and she is very good at threading beads on to shoe laces. We sometimes have pj mornings where we don't get dressed until lunch time watching TV and snuggling in bed :D

I have a wide range of arts and crafty bits, for painting, sticking and jewellery making. My daughter is getting quite good at threading beads on to shoe laces. I also like to bake with my daughter, she likes to help stir, but she makes quite a mess!!

DD loves to build houses for her teddies with Mega Blocks (I'm not sure they'd pass building regs!) or a train track network. Her other love is to make the longest traffic jam possible...

Den building with chairs, sheets, clothes airers etc. Fill them with cushions and you can drag the fun out for hours, sometimes even overnight!

We like to boil eggs and paint them as a family. And turn them in to little characters

I keep a box of art and craft things for rainy days as my 2 love making things. Also baking is great fun together.

I don't think you can really beat baking with the kids on a rainy day? It's time consuming and messy but so much fun as it sparks their imagination, improves their confidence and you get the bonus of mixing art with maths so is very educational ;)...but most of all it is a very bonding experience (as it's often so sticky!!)
