11 Reader-Approved Rainy Day Activities

"It's a free-for-all! We descend upon the playroom, and every single toy makes it out of the bins. We make forts and tunnels, and pull out the crayons and painting supplies."

You can create blanket forts, DIY obstacle courses, cardboard box tunnels, arts and crafts. And don't forget to get the toys from the toy chest's bottom out for some serious playtime.

Oh, and the mess? How about a little treat for the cleanup hero in the family?
