When it’s raining outside, there are still plenty of fun and engaging activities to do with kids indoors.
Here are some enjoyable things to do with kids on a rainy day:

Build a Fort or Blanket Fort: Use blankets, pillows, and furniture to construct a cosy fort where the kids can play, read, or have a snack inside.
Arts and Crafts: Set up an arts and crafts station with coloured paper, markers, crayons, glue, and other craft supplies. Let the kids’ imagination run wild as they create art projects.
