Rainy Day Box

I love exploring the outdoors with my son!  We walk on trails, look for bugs, and take plenty of pictures!  Every sunny day, we just throw on our shoes and go out the door.

But what do we do when it rains?  Well, after reading a couple of books and searching pinterest I found the idea of creating a rainy day box!  So, what is it?  Simply put: It's a box filled with activities for a rainy day.  I keep new and different items inside the box, so it becomes an exciting moment when I bring it out!

What do you put inside the box?  Anything, really.  Random craft supplies, "busy bags," puzzles, new books, paper and crayons- the list goes on!

I have been slowly adding to my box.  Most items are found around the home, or bought at the dollar store! You don't have to spend a lot to have fun!  Every time I shop, I look for clearance craft items to add to our box.

New crayons are kept in this cup!  We got it while we were out for breakfast (for my birthday)!  This doubles as an activity when we're finished coloring.

Oh! and that book in the middle...........?
