Its a
windy, rainy, cold day so what can you do with your nestlings? Try some (or
all) of these. You're sure to find something the children will enjoy, and hopefully you will too!
10.
Dressing up - a perennial favourite with boys and girls of all ages (and some
mums and dads). If you haven't got a dress up box let them have some of your
old clothes and jewellery. Accessories are always a hit.

9. Cooking
up a storm - anything that requires mixing by hand is good for little people.
Just keep it safe and don't stress about the mess.
8. Face
painting - make sure its the kind of paint that washes off easily and go
easy on the black, just in case...
7. Reading
a story (or being read to) - important and fun for the reader and the one being
read to. Stuck for ideas? Check out our blog: Children's book suggestions by age.
6. Drawing
or colouring - as long as its on paper, not the walls, or carpet, or the dog...
5. Making
an inside cubby house - there is something about pushing the chairs together
and throwing a blanket over the top that always makes me smile.
4. Writing
a story - rainy days are great for creativity. If your nestling isn't old
enough to write their own, write a story just for them. Everyone likes being
the hero/heroine.

3. Playing
in a nice warm bath - fun for the whole family if your bath is big enough. This
one can be combined with number 7, and may be necessary after 8 and 9.
2. Dressing
up the cat or dog, or a soft toy - the soft toy may be the safest option,
depending on the temperament of your cat or dog. I'd suggest you make sure the
face paint has been put away before you start this one too.
1.
Snuggling in front of the fire/heater - possibly while watching a movie and
drinking hot chocolate. What better way to spend a dreary day?
Don't let
the weather get you down. There are lots of fun things to do inside - you are
only limited by your imagination. Just ask your nestlings, they're sure to come
up with something creative. Enjoy!
