Playing outside is good for kids’ physical and mental health. But on rainy days, it’s just not feasible. That’s why it’s so important to have some fun and educational activities that they can do indoors.

Boys and girls alike enjoy art, and it’s great for building visual and motor skills. The Crayola Store sells everything you could possibly need for a budding young artist to practice his or her craft. From crayons to clay to paint, they truly have it all. And if you sign up for their email updates, you can get 10% off your next order.

For boys, train sets provide a productive way to occupy indoor time. They can learn a lot from putting together tracks and setting up scenery. MyToyBox.com has a deal going on in which you can get a free train car with a $55 Thomas Wooden Railway purchase.

Crafting is a favorite pastime for many girls. You can find an array of craft supplies for kids at Create for Less. Popular choices include jewelry making supplies and paper crafts.

Don’t let rainy day boredom get everyone down. Keeping some fun indoor activities on hand will help kids lose those blues and provide some mental stimulation in the process.
