In the morning we made delicious, amazing muffins (recipe coming soon!) and I let Carter help put in the ingredients and even turn on the mixer! I loved pushing the handle to the on the mixer and was so proud of himself for helping!
After baking I asked if he wanted to help do the dishes, which of course he did because he loves playing in the sink! I let him “wash” for awhile and he had a blast filling each thing up with water and moving the water from container to container!
What rainy day would be complete without a movie? Our movie of choice, of course, Disney’s Planes (again). Pretty sure I’ve seen this about once per day for about 3 weeks now!
Rain days can lead to some pent up energy and since we couldn’t drive anywhere because of the ice we had to improvise some ways to expend some energy inside the house! For a fun game I created this activity dice! To play the game just roll the dice and your kids do whatever activity it lands on, as many times as you want!
All you need is: a square box (I used a tissue box), white paper, scissors, markers and tape.
Tape the white paper over your box. You may need to cut it to size here and there depending on the size of your box and your paper. Write your activities on each side with the marker and thats it!
Here are the activities ours has:
- Hop like a frog
- jump 5 times
- spin in a circle
- Fly like a bird
- Stomp like a dinosaur
- wiggle wiggle
Happy rain day! What are you favorite rainy day fun activities?

We love to play games on rainy days. My kids are older, and we LOVE Ticket To Ride.
Fun ideas! My kids are always up for popcorn and movies 🙂
Well you guys just made my whole week! Thanks so much for the feature, Rachel! XO
That activity block is a fantastic idea! I love it!
My kids are older so we can spend rainy days cuddles on the coach watching movies.
Hello cute lady! Thank you for hosting such a fabulous party. Please take a moment to stop by our party. We would love to have one of your amazing posts at the party. Happy Tuesday! Lou Lou Girls
This is my first time linking up with you! Thanks for hosting. I love that activity block idea. I think I'll make one to take with me when I substitute teach at preschool.
Those are SUPER cute ideas!!! I love the box/dice one!
Thanks so much for hosting the link up!
Absolutely love the 'roll the dice' idea, to tire out the kid! Thanks for the linky party!
The activity dice is just a wonderful idea. I’ll be having a house full of 4 and 5 year olds for my daughter’s birthday party in August and it is windy month in my city, so outdoors might not be possible. This provides a great way to keep a group entertained for a while!
