    Great list to refer to when my kids say they are bored. We have snow on the ground here, but I can see using this list a bunch. Pinning!

    I live in the PNW so I’m no stranger to rainy days. I love your suggestions! Anything that encourages a child to use their imagination and participate is A+ in my book.

    In general for me, the only thing the rain changes is that I put my waterproof shell and waterproof shoes on. I love it! My nephew is always wanting to go for “rain walks” with me and my dog. It’s fun because there’s almost nobody else around and when he has his rain pants on, he shoots down the slides really fast at the park!
