Answer 5

Before Five in a Row is a book with a dozen story books used for about a dozen activities each.  It is about $25 dollars and then you can purchase the picture books for about $10 a piece and have them on hand.  Most of the picture books referenced are also in your local library (larger libraries sometimes have the Before Five in a Row book also).  You might also check into local story times at the library and often there are special story times at local bookstores.  Keep these days and times posted on the fridge so you can make a decision to go to Barns and Noble on Tuesday if it rains.

Answer 14

If it isn't thunder and lightning, you can decorate the bathroom with summery things, play beach music, use beach towels, and get on their swimsuits. Fill up the tub with cool water and let them "swim". Pretend you are at the pool. Pretend you are at the beach. You can help make "waves" by moving your hand back and forth in the water. If you have a jacuzzi tub that is big enough go for a swim too. Then when you are all dry and changed have a snack of something that you would have at the beach or something summery.

London Bridge

Reading and acting out the pictures

making a costume out of newspaper or paper bags

Hide and go seek in the house

Answer 18

Play dough can be made out of stuff most people have in their cupboards.

1 cup flour

1 cup warm water

2 teaspoons cream of tartar

1 teaspoon oil

1/4 cup salt

food coloring

Mix all ingredients, adding food coloring last. Stir over medium heat until smooth. Remove from pan and knead until blended smooth. Place in plastic bag or airtight container when cooled. Will last for a long time.

I have made it before without the cream of tartar because I didn't have any still worked fine.

If that doesn't work try colouring and drawing its always good to have new fridge decorations.
