Rainy day ideas
The weather is turning quickly! What’s your best go to rainy day idea? Can be something to do inside or an idea of somewhere to go? I’ve got a newborn and my toddler needs his energy redirected on rainy or slow days!
In the past month, we’ve done things such as:
Charity shop mooch
Swimming lessons
Pipe cleaner threading
Coffee and cake dates
Hartbeeps/baby classes
Airport plane watching
Play doh
Baking
Pumpkin picking
Making binoculars with toilet rolls
Using binoculars on puddle walks
Magnetic tiles
CBeebies games on the computer
Halloween dance party/floor is lava
Play dates
Trips to the park
Any more ideas? I haven’t had longer than 2 hours sleep in a row in 34 days so can’t think of any more things. If not, hopefully my ideas above will help someone else out!

Church playgroup, garden centre to see Christmas lights
Baking/cooking, bug hunting with a magnifying glass, sensory play with water/rice etc, craft activities - painting, sticking, stickers, stamps, puddle jumping, leaf/conker collecting (to then use to make crafts), pets at home/garden centre to see the fish, duplo, jigsaws, small world play 😊
Garden centre is always a good shout.. especially with autumn/ winter decorations to look at and it’s usually dead in the week so they can walk around and explore abit too xx

These are great ideas! We also go to playgroups, the library, toddler cinema, football classes, soft play, museums, aquariums, play cafes, bowling, a board game cafe, and we play board games (we’ve got a selection of toddler ones), do painting (with brushes, hands, apples for printing, marbles etc), and do Baker Ross craft kits x
