I do not know about you but we have been having a lot of rainy weather lately which has been keeping us inside. So I am pulling out lots of fun inside activities to keep S entertained. Here are a few of our favorites…
Building an Indoor Obstacle Course
This is a great activity to get out some energy when you are stuck inside. You should have everything on hand and your child can even help you build the obstacle course. S loved this activity and continues to ask to build an obstacle course again.
How to Make Marshmallow Playdough
What child would not love to make playdough out of marshmallows? S loved playing with this dough. She pretended she was making cookies…yum!
How to Make a Perler Bead Bowl
S loves her Perler Bead bowl and uses it on her nightstand to hold her bracelets and hair clips. You can make a bowl any color and any size that you want!
Glamping Kid Style
S loves to have picnics and she loves to build forts, so there is nothing better on a rainy day than to pack some snacks, grab some favorite books and build a tent – glamping it is!
How to Make Glitter Slime
There are so many fun things to do with slime! This easy version is so sparkly and fun!
Arctic Small World
I usually do our small world activities outside, but you can do them inside as well. I recommend using a large plastic bin or tote to hold your small world. Or go ahead and bring a sand/water table inside. Just be sure to place a plastic table cloth or towels underneath your play area to catch spills.
Rainy Day Art
If you are having rainy weather like me, you can still go outside and make rainy day art.
The glitter slime is my favorite. My little guy would really get into the stickiness and fun of rolling it around!
Slime is so fun and you can make it any color you want!
I would happily make slime any day!
Slime is so much fun and you can do so much with it!
You and S have made some great DIY fun projects this year, my favorite one is the glitter slime. I look forward to you ladies creative projects in 2015!
Thank you Louida! I look forward to your posts in 2015 too!
I love the idea of an obstacle course! That sounds like it would be so much fun!
Thank you Teresa!
These are such great ideas! My daughter is almost 15 months and really becoming a toddler. It’s always good to have a list of things to do when things get dull and rainy.
Thank you so much Lisa!
I would love to get my hands on the marshmallow play dough. Looks like so much fun. It’s been so rainy here, too. My grands are coming over to spend the day with me tomorrow and we may just have to try a couple of your fun boredom busters.
Thank you Alli! I hope you and the grands have a fun day tomorrow!
These are really neat ideas to keep kids busy and their imaginations active. I especially like the obstacle course, bead bowl, and small world. God bless! 🙂
Thanks Angel!
I love the arctic ice play and the indoor obstacle course! We are living in an apartment at the moment so we don’t get a ton of outdoor play time and these are GREAT ideas!
Thank you Lynsey! I hope you have fun playing!
Great ideas! We’ve made cookies, played with the new dollhouse and had oodles of tea parties. Now we need something else fun.
Tea parties are always fun!
Love these ideas! We are definitely going to need some this winter.
Thank you Sarah!
What a great selection of boredom busters, I found you on Redo It Yourself Inspiration, I will need to send these to my grandchildren
Thanks Jennifer! I hope they have fun!
How fun! I love the marshmallow playdough idea!
Thank you Leesha!
I need to try some of these with the kids I nanny. That marshmallow dough is sure to be a hit! Thanks for sharing these ideas with Hump Day Happenings.
I hope the kids enjoy! Thanks Jenna!
