Gutter Gators, Playdough, Scavenger Hunts & More: A Few Rainy Day Activities for Kids

It looks like it's going to be another rainy weekend so naturally I decided to look for some fun rainy day kids' activities online. Here are a few favorites.

• Gutter Gators: This is a neat activity from TLC.com where you and your family can create paper "gators" and race them down the rain gutter.
• Print with Everyday Objects:  Create some interesting art "prints" using thread spools, tooth picks, bath sponges, q-tips and other household items.  Click here for complete instructions at the Crayola website.
• Try a "Magazine Scavenger Hunt".  This is a great activity for teens too!
• Create some homemade playdough.
• Have your children read a book and then write a book report for you.  Here are some neat book report printables to use!
• Enjoy an indoor picnic.
• Make cookies...here are the "favorites" from Allrecipes.com.
