What are some good rainy day activities?
My 4 year old hasn't been interested in much I have suggested. So far we took a walk in the rain with our rain coats and umbrellas and made "raindrop art". Paint paper with washable water paint in big colorful splotches then set it out in the rain for a few minutes then hang it up to dry. It makes a streaky water washed stained glass effect. Any other good ideas?
Macaroni art! Or stained glass windows. You'll need crayons, waxed paper, an old tea towel or pillow case, & an iron. - put small bits of crayon (you can break or shave) between 2 sheets of waxed paper. I have even had my son color heavily on one of the sheets of wax paper & then cover with the other. Place the tea towel or pillowcase over the waxed paper & iron on low heat until the crayon melts (if you have an old iron - better. I went & got one at Goodwill just for kid crafts). When it's cool to touch you can cut out, frame in construction paper & hang in the window. My kids & I even made mini ones as x-mas tree ornaments.
