101 Things for Kids to do on a Rainy Day

Description

From the author of 101 Things for Kids to do Outside, which has fast become a go-to book for children and parents alike, comes this excellent new volume full of creative (and occasionally crazy) ideas for things to do when the weather is bad and you're stuck inside - without having to go anywhere near a TV or computer screen! If you're feeling musical, learn how to play the glasses or create a lollipop stick harmonica. Get crafty with decoupage and salt dough, or play detective by dusting for fingerprints. Exciting makes include terrariums, zoetropes and kaleidoscopes, whilst wacky games cover everything from Balloon Jousting to Sticky Note Scramble. All 101 ideas are designed to be achievable with little or no parental help, and only use materials that you already have around the house. With a wealth of creative and fun suggestions to keep you amused, you might not even notice that the rain has stopped.
