Rainy Day fun

I found this idea via Little Page Turners...

So, next time it's starts raining don't mope around thinking "there's NOTHING to DO!"

Grab those cute rain boots and umbrellas and PAINT!

April Showers bring FUN HOURS!

Along with nice spring weather (well, most of the time) comes plenty of afternoon showers. Luckily, we have tons of fun activities, toys and games to keep the kidlets busy.

You see...
This momma got SMART and starting coming up with ideas before spring even made her entrance.
You see, I sat on the computer many nights and searched high and low for some of the best FUN activities I could find and now I am going to share them with you!!

First....
Two great toy playsets for the girl's in your life.
LITTLEST PET SHOP PLAYFUL PAWS PET DAYCARE CENTER

My ten year old and all of her friends have gone Littlest Pet Shop C-R-A-Z-Y. Actually, some days I feel as if Hasbro's Littlest Pet Shop department has blown up in my girl's room!
She has the pets, playsets, journals, digital planners...
As soon as I told her about the NEW Playful Paws Pet Daycare Center she said
WHERE?
WHEN?
&
HOW?
I knew that we had a winner on our hands!
The LITTLEST PET SHOP pets will love to gather at the PLAYFUL PAWS PET DAYCARE CENTER for an ultimate day full of fun! Pets will be amused for hours in this activity-filled two level playset. While spending time at the PLAYFUL PAWS PET DAYCARE CENTER, the LITTLEST PET SHOP pets can play on the jungle gym slide, take a spin on the perch or just relax on the basket swing - pets can even take a ride on the habitrail shaped elevator. After a day full of fun, tuckered out pets can get pampered and groomed at the second level salon or take a nap in their sleeping cubby. The PLAYFUL PAWS PET DAYCARE CENTER playset comes with an exclusive porcupine pet in addition to cool accessories, lots of storage space and easy portability for girls to display their LITTLEST PET SHOP collection anywhere. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide and on HasbroToyShop.com
**recommended for ages 4 and up**

My youngest daughter has not went gaga over Littlest Pet Shop just yet, however she can't put her My Little Pony collection down.
This next item has kept the little princess (age 4) happy and content on the stormiest of days.
MY LITTLE PONY NEWBORN CUTIES LITTLE RAINBOW DASH'S ROOM Playset

After a day filled with pony-fun, NEWBORN RAINBOW DASH pony can't wait to get back home to unwind at the MY LITTLE PONY NEWBORN CUTIES LITTLE RAINBOW DASH'S ROOM playset. Once she is in her sweet pink nursery, NEWBORN RAINBOW DASH pony can take a ride on her adorable little dino ride or snuggle up for a nap in her cloud-shaped cradle complete with a rainbow mobile. The MY LITTLE PONY NEWBORN CUTIES LITTLE RAINBOW DASH'S ROOM playset comes with a NEWBORN RAINBOW DASH figure and additional adorable accessories including a teddy bear, skirt, tiny blanket, and special pony book. Available at most major toy retailers nationwide and on HasbroToyShop.com

I must say that this playset is adorable! It's perfect for any "little momma". I have also been told that other popular ponies will be coming out real soon with their own playset. I am sure my daughter will want them all.

Rainy Day fun

We had a good little spring rain come through yesterday afternoon while the kids were out riding their bikes. Just as it was about to pass us by the kids decided they wanted to jump in a few puddles before going inside.
I told them it was fine as long as I did not have to get wet. :snicker:

It is supposed to rain a good bit this week so I thought now would be a great time to make that "Rainy Day" box that I had been meaning to do for some time.

*Grab a large box

*Have the kids paint and decorate the box

Go through the kids toy boxes and find OLD toys that may have forgotten about, place them in the Rainy Day box

*Visit the DOLLAR STORE for more great ideas such as a deck of cards, paint, playdough, craft supplies....

*Add everything to the box and then put it up for a RAINY DAY!

(Since the kids will only be using the RAINY DAY box when it rains, they won't get bored with the contents.)

Another great idea:

"THE MYSTERY BAG"

Find a rather LARGE bag and fill it with all kinds of objects (Nothing too sharp or pointy)

Then have the kids reach in and feel something.

Can they tell you what it is??
