Rainy days can be tough when it comes to keeping your kids entertained. Trust us, we know! With screens being the go-to for many kids these days, it's important to find ways to keep them screen-free and busy on those dreary days. 

Here are 10 fun and creative ideas to keep your kids occupied:

Indoor obstacle course: Set up an obstacle course using Figgy Play Couch, cushions, and other items around the house. Your kids can climb over, crawl under, and jump around to complete the course.

Board games: Dust off those board games that have been hiding in the closet and have a family game day. Kids love playing games and it's a great way to spend quality time together.

Arts and crafts: Get out the paint, paper, and glue and let your kids create their own masterpieces. You can also find craft kits that are easy and fun for kids of all ages.

Cooking and baking: Get your kids in the kitchen and have them help with meal preparation or bake some yummy treats. It's a great way to teach them about nutrition and math.

Fort building: One of our favs, of course since a Figgy is the ultimate fort maker. Add in blankets, pillows, and chairs to create a cozy fort for your kids to play in. They can read books, play games, or even have a picnic in their new hideaway.

Scavenger hunt: Create a scavenger hunt for your kids to complete around the house. You can hide clues and treats in various locations and watch as they work together to solve the puzzle.

Puzzles: Puzzles are a great way to keep kids engaged and help with their cognitive development. Find puzzles that are age-appropriate and challenging enough to keep them entertained.

Dance party: Turn up the music and have a dance party in your living room. You can even make it a family competition and see who has the best moves.

Reading: Encourage your kids to pick up a book and get lost in a story. Reading is a great way to stimulate their imagination and improve their literacy skills.

Science experiments: There are many fun and easy science experiments you can do at home with your kids. From making slime to creating volcanoes, these experiments are sure to keep them entertained and curious.

Rainy days don't have to be boring. Make them an adventure! With these 10 ideas, you can keep your kids screen-free and entertained all day long. Remember, spending quality time with your kids is important, so embrace the opportunity to have fun and make memories together!
