10 rainy day activities for kids

Today I’ve rounded up 10 of the best rainy day activities for kids from last week’s #Pintorials linky and around the web.  There are some fantastic ideas for games, crafts and recipes to keep boredom at bay!

10 rainy day activities for kids:

• Make a cling film painting from Arty Crafty Kids
• Try some watercolour and crayon art from Jennifer Grace Creates
• Bake some Carcassonne cookies to eat while playing board games from Budget Girl
• Help batman escape from ice mountain (this one needs prep, but would be fantastic to have in the freezer ready to go) from Crafts On Sea
• Make your own EASY homemade ice-cream from The Science Kiddo
• Create a bunch of egg carton flowers from Schooling A Monkey
• Make a cardboard castle or fort and play giants and knights from Hodge Podge Craft
• Make this DIY magnetic scrabble board (and then have a game) from The Gingerbread House
• Experiment with shaving foam glitter sensory paint from Mini Monets & Mommies
• Make some yummy rocket pizzas from Growing Book By Book

You can find 25 MORE rainy day crafts over at One Little Project!

This week I am linking up my tutorial for a super easy liquid watercolour galaxy, which is another great craft for a rainy day (I love how easy it is to clean up after watercolour painting)!

Why not check out my co-hosts; ET Speaks From Home (DIY), Crafts On Sea (space crafts) and TheBoyandMe (creative painting techniques) too?

If you’d like to link up to #Pintorials this week, here’s a reminder of the rules…

The #Pintorials Rules:

• Add the URL of your Pin or blog post below using the Linky. We will then add our favourites to our Pintorials Pinterest Board. It must be an instruction based post of some kind but this could be crafts, recipes or anything else. It can be old or new, but please only add each thing once.
• It is really helpful if you allow your posts’ images to be copied (even better if you have a ‘Pin it’ button, as this makes our task easier)! By linking up your post, you agree to us using at least one picture if your post is featured.
• Follow the Pintorials Pinterest Board. If you’d like to follow your hosts too that would be fabulous. We are ET Speaks From Home, Hodge Podge Craft, Crafts On Sea and TheBoyandMe.
• Visit at least 3 of the sites pinned below and pin them to one of your boards. If you’d like to say you’re visiting from #Pintorials (or Tweet about the linky) that would be marvellous. Of course you can pin more than that if you want!
• You don’t have to use the badge, but it would be great if you can, or if you’d give us a text link. The more people know about #Pintorials, the more can join in the party!

P.S. You can grab the blog badge here if you’d like to use it.
