Rainy Day Activities

Here are some activities sorted by subject to keep the kiddos happy on a rainy day:

Art:
Van Gogh's starry night
Paint a starry night or any other scene by first using light colored crayons like white/peach, yellow to create images and then paint over it with tempera paint as seen here:

Check out kinderart.com for many art history lessons for kids

Science:
Make you own lava lamp

Check out Steve Spangler's site for instructions on the lava lamp and so many more science experiments.


Fine motor/Toddler:

Physical activity:
