Things To Do On Rainy Days
These ideas came from the book Bright Ideas from girls, for girls!, but boys can also use these ideas.
1. Paint designs on clay pots. -Bonnie & Lisa H. from Utah
2. Make a boat from half a walnut. -Elizabeth R. from Michigan
3. Shape cookie dough into pencils, bake, and decorate with tube icing. -Raechelle S. from Ohio
4. Pour cereal, marshmallows, and nuts into a plastic bag and munch away! -Megan H. from Minnesota
5. Make a necklace. String round sweets and cereal onto thin licorice strips. Cynthia from Florida
6. Turn a gingerbread house into a summer home by decorating it with brightly colored candies. -Sharon M. from California
7. Decorate a white canvas bag with glow in the dark paint. -Alison S. from Maryland
8. For a simple game, toss rolled socks into a hamper. -Amanda F. from New York
9. Pour melted peanut butter onto popcorn. -Anna F. from Wisconsin
10. Create a Popsicle stick picture frame. -Stephanie J. from Michigan
11. Turn a detergent box into a bookholder. -Colby L. from California
My own suggestions:
1. Read a book. I recommend Goosebumps books (by R. L. Stine) that say "Reader beware, you choose the scare!" because in those books, you choose what happens to you. Don't like scary books? I suggest reading "Forever Angels" books by Suzanne Weyn. A boy that doesn't like scary books? I suggest "Time Cat" by Lloyd Alexander.
2. Look around my website.
3. While you're looking, you might see some cool graphics. If there's a logo or banner (like the banner beside my hedgehog up there) it's sure to be linked. You can click on it to get your own graphic for your website (don't steal the ones I downloaded!).
