Rainy Day Activities

Since today is dark and rainy at my house, I thought I’d share a few fun activities to do with your kids (or grandkids) to help a rainy day not be a gloomy one!   Make sure whatever activity you choose is age appropriate.  🙂

My two youngest asked to make playdough today, so let’s start with different playdough recipes!

Easy Edible Frosting Playdough
This only requires frosting, powdered sugar, a dab of food coloring and some cookie cutters.

Edible Chocolate Peanut Butter Playdough
Do you have some chocolate frosting, peanut butter and powdered sugar?  Then you’re all set!

Peanut Butter Playdough
This has been a staple in our “food fun repertoire” for years.  🙂
Remember that honey is not safe for babies!

Easy and Delicious Biscuit Doughnuts
Let the kids make the holes, and an adult the frying.  🙂

Homemade Shaved Ice
Choose your own colors and flavors.

Baked Funfetti Doughnuts
These are so good, no one would guess that they’re baked!

Educational Games and Activities
These activities are not only fun, but educational as well!

Marshmallow Pops
Tip:  Add a bit of marshmallow creme to your stick so the marshmallow won’t slide down it as much.

Tie Dye Cupcakes
Let your kids choose the color combinations!

Fun with Cool Whip
Did you know how versatile whipped topping can be?

Marshmallow Flower Cupcakes
Who knew marshmallows could be so pretty!?

Family Food Fun
If you have pretzels and marshmallows, you have tinker toys!

If the temperature’s not too hot at your house,
these Marshmallow Snowmen Hot Chocolate Toppers are fun to make!

Hope you find something new and fun to do!
