10 Things to Do on a Rainy Day

Stomp in puddles -- try jumping from one puddle to another if you have enough puddles


Catch raindrops on your tongue

Listen to raindrops falling on your umbrella

Create paper plate art (put a few drops of food coloring on a paper plate, then hold it under light rain and watch the color swirl)

Wet chalk sidewalk painting

Play dodge ball (wet grass adds to the challenge!)

Set up a tent and read books outside (dig a trench around it)


Watch birds looking for worms

Let pots fill up with rain water and see what nature items float

Have a relay race with waterproof toys (jumping in hula hoops, running around cones, etc.)
