Busy Ideas för uttråkade barn: Regnig dag-utgåvan

We grabbed this tin on a whim and it's saved our sanity on three separate gloomy afternoons already. The cards are sturdy and the mix of ideas is clever enough that even my 9-year-old hasn't rolled her eyes once. Fits nicely on the shelf too, so it's easy to reach for when the rain starts.

My kids were bouncing off the walls yesterday, and pulling a random card from the tin turned the whole afternoon around. We've already gone through maybe ten of the fifty ideas, and each one uses stuff we already have at home. It's the easiest way to turn a grumpy day into something fun.

My kids were climbing the walls until we cracked open this tin; the card with "indoor scavenger hunt" actually kept them busy for an hour. There are so many different ideas in the pack that we haven't done the same one twice yet.
