Rainy days do not have to mean complicated activities or a house full of craft supplies.
1. Cushion stepping stones
Place cushions safely across the floor and imagine the carpet is a river.
2. Teddy café
Set up cups, plates and favourite toys and let your child take the orders.
3. Colour hunt
Choose a colour and see how many safe objects you can find around the room.
4. Building challenge
Use blocks or boxes to build the tallest tower you can, then try a bridge.
5. Story basket
Put a few random household objects in a basket and make up a story that uses each one.
The best activity is often the one your child takes in an unexpected direction.
