With the wet weather firmly upon us, keep your young charges happy and engaged, even if you are stuck inside, with these fun indoor activities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Draw a Story<\/strong> \u2013 This fun activity is perfect for any weather, but what\u2019s better than reading a book whilst listening to the rain pour down outside? Read a story to your child (for the most fun, choose a new story that your child hasn\u2019t heard before). Here\u2019s the important bit \u2013 don\u2019t show your child any of the illustrations inside the book. At the end of each page, or after a particularly interesting section, ask your child to draw what they heard, creating their own interpretation. For extra creativity, they could try drawing in a comic book style!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Expand an Image<\/strong> \u2013 Find a photo or picture (landscape\u2019s work well for this!) and glue it to a blank piece of paper. Then, ask your child to expand the image.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Make Sock Puppets <\/strong>\u2013 All you need are old (clean) socks, googly eyes and glue. Go wild, make your puppets funky and then put on a show! A perfect 2-in-1 activity to boost imagination and creativity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Make a Shadow Theatre<\/strong> \u2013 Turn off the lights, grab your torches and use your hands, dolls, bears and any other props you can think of to make a fun show the whole family can enjoy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Host an Indoor Picnic<\/strong> \u2013 Clear a space on the floor, lay out a picnic blanket, and enjoy an indoor picnic. Don\u2019t forget to invite every doll and teddy bear you can find!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
