[AnnMumsnet]

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.

We like to watch movie's and bake cakes on rainy day's

We will often snuggle up on the sofa under a quilt and with the home phone and my mobile and call all the relatives and friends for a chat, passing both phones around so we all chat to everybody :)

Lots of art and craft :)!!!

Rainy days are fun filled days, Playdoh, palace pets, shopkins, frustration, Cluedo, Ker plunk, same as normal but all of us in the warm.

If its a rainy Sunday afternoon we have a Family Film~Fest with snacks, drinks and a cosy throw

we go swimming

We usually bake special doggy biscuits and cakes. It keeps both the kids and dogs happy

Crafts, I have a huge box full of bis and pieces to get creative with!

Go on a puddle walk :) lots of puddle jumping and then home to nice warm house and a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows

soft play or a disney film

Last rainy day we made bread AND butter (easy peasy with a tub of double cream, take it in turns to shake it) And Jam, then we ate it for tea

This reminds me of a story about my cousin's girls, aged 5 and 8, when visiting the 92 year old sister of their great-grandmother.

When asked why they were looking through the desk drawers, they said they were looking for the rainy day colouring pens and scrap paper, like great-grandma used to have. We were surprised they remembered (she died several years ago) and amused. Safe to say, we do all keep colours and paper, just in case.

baking, playing board games, playing with dolls, and colouring

Our favourite thing to do on a rainy day is Play Doh Cafes! We get all the play-doh out and make up "food" with it and we write out a menu and take it in turns to visit the cafe and have tea!

We go to the cheap cinema listing in the morning and they play computer games or activities in the afternoon while I catch up on housework.

Colouring books, make things, origami, board games and maybe a movie if all else fails!

go out and have a game of footbal in the rain and mud

Baking, painting and playdough are good standbys but if possible they love to go out and splash in the puddles, then come back and have a hot chocolate to warm up.

Arts & crafts, baking, or we suck it up & go splash in the puddles!!

Tidy up there room then we can play some games

The cinema is a favourite on a raining day, or sometimes tenpin bowling or swimming/ice skating.

Play games, watch films and make things!

Bake bake bake! Today we made a pinapple upside down cake :-)

We play games, bake cakes or just have a lazy film afternoon. But we still often wrap up and go out for a walk there is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing.

We jump in muddy puddles!!
