Rainy Day Activities for Kids

WESTLAND, Mich.–– We all know the saying "April showers bring May flowers". The rainy spring season brings wet conditions and puddles galore. While playing outside may be the ideal activity for kids, there are many other things that'll entertain kids indoors. Stay safe inside the comfort of your own home this spring and enjoy these rainy day activities for kids:

• Build a Blanket & Pillow Fort: Grab the sofa cushions, chairs, and any cardboard boxes. Drape blankets over the top and put some comfy pillows inside.

• Take a Trip to the Library: Visit the local library to encourage your kids to read. Most of the time, there are classes/activities available for kids of all ages.

• Play Board Games: Board games are an easy way to keep kids entertained and they challenge them to use their brain, too!

• Make a Home Cinema: Compile some of your kids' favorite movies, microwave some popcorn, and cuddle up in some blankets on the couch for a movie day!
