After finally getting a taste of playing outside, kids don't embrace the return of gloomy weather. What to do? Try the suggestions in Diane Laney Fitzpatrick's latest article, Rainy Day Activities for Kids. Fitzpatrick has a slew of ideas for repurposing stuff you already have around the house, like masking tape, cornstarch, and food coloring.
Looking for more ideas? I wrote my Indoor Fun article in the dead of winter, but the ideas are good for any kind of weather. Best of all, each idea costs $10 or less.
