Gomake moist. See who will make the biggest splash, jump round the broadest puddle and be the first to fill her up boots.
Make a "tie-dye" craft.
Do the initial part inside: Catch some coffee filters and also have the children color them with markers (not washable ones), and put them onto a cookie sheet. Then set them out in the rain and see the colours run. Bring them indoors, and once they dry, the children can make blossoms: Pinch every filter at the center and twist, then wrap a green pipe cleaner around to make a twist.
Take your children on a "rescue the worms" walk.
(You do not need to dash 'em!) Stroll around the area and allow your children pick them up off the sidewalk and throw them back to the bud. If you are home, visit Yucky.discovery.comand hunt for cool information on earthworms.
Perform a rainy-day monet.
Head outside with a few sidewalk chalk. When it is wet, it functions almost like paint!
Possess a dab.
Have a lot of bath toys outside--ships, buckets, cups--and also drama at a puddle or locate a "flow" in the border of the road (if you stay on a secure one) and race a ship against a lightweight ball.
Create a rain.
In the event that you simply want to remain within, have your child decorate a two-liter soda bottle, and mark and measure half-inches using a Sharpie. You then cut off the top and set it out a window where you are able to view it from inside. Establish some interesting goals: "If it reaches half an inch, then we will play a board game. If it gets to an inch, then we will make biscuits..." etc.. !
