Looking for screen-free ways to keep the kids busy on days when it’s just too wet to leave the house?

We hear you – and as we are currently having a rather wet midterm week, we are always grateful for any new ways to keep them from climbing the walls on days when we are all stuck inside.

Painting with cars

Materials

  1. Craft paints
  2. Little toy cars (I’m sure you have loads of those, I know I sure do)
  3. Craft paper or poster board

Directions

1. Tape down a piece of paper or cardboard to the floor

2. Place several dabs of paint onto the paper or cardboard (I tried placing the blobs randomly with lots of different colours)

3. Let the kids drive their cars all over it
