To celebrate the re-launch of the Bassetts Vitamins range for all the family, they'd like you to share on this thread what you do with your DC (young or old) on a rainy day.

Do check out the video one of our bloggers made for them

Bassetts Vitamins say "we think family life is all about big puddles, big mud, big adventures, big tree-houses, big imaginations, big games, big days out, big messes, big noises and big fun - now we'd love to hear what fun times you and your family get up to when it's raining outside".

As the range includes vitamin products for all ages from 6 months, they'd love to hear from you, whatever age your DC are - whether they are teens or toddlers - what do you do or encourage your DC to do when it's all grey and rainy outside?

Add your comment to the thread and you'll be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher for John Lewis.

Thanks and good luck.

My daughter hates rain so we usually stay inside if we dont need to go out doing arts and crafts

tabbaz123 · 28/11/2015 06:49

No rain no rainbows! Puddle time can be such fun! BUT if it is really unpleasant and cold with it then arts and crafts become the order of the day - Getting creative with cooking too

suzyq50 · 28/11/2015 07:10

Playdoh is useful, Also Netflix is handy to see if there are any decent films on.

Dress up in waterproof gear and go and splash in puddles! Great fun..... Or we cook , play games, watch TV, draw ....

Thecatknowsshesboss · 28/11/2015 07:29

If just raining we'll go out anyway if it's cold as well though, we'll do baking or arty stuff. Last weekend we made salt dough decorations and painted them as it was horrible outside.

mrpeterhall · 28/11/2015 07:31

Rainy days are for catching up on indoor jobs so that we can all go out when the rain stops.

steviestarship · 28/11/2015 07:32

We have hundreds of board games so if the rain is in for the day it's monopoly, if it's a shower it's rummicub ☔☔☔

Ganne1 · 28/11/2015 08:47

We found some really good educational (but fun) CD#ROMs, Passeport in French, for example. They didn't even realise they were learning. Marc suddenly started talking about Archimedes, when in the bath, which he'd picked up from Museum Madness!
