Plenty of creative ideas for a rainy day. Rainy Day Projects for Kids is an elaborate and creative work by Petra Boase. These projects will keep children occupied for hours at a time. It is unlikely they will complete many of them without your help, then again 10-12 year olds would easily complete some of them. The book is mostly for children 9-12, but I know a few "grown ups" who would not mind making some of these fun projects. There is an easy to make jigsaw puzzle which utilizes wrapping paper and cardboard. The origami water bombs may be best made "outside," and the egg painting project would be perfect for Easter. This book will appeal to a child's natural curiosity, creativity, and inclination towards just having fun. I also cannot imagine any parent buying this book and not wanting to help with the projects. Some of the easier projects include a painted rock paper weight and a peanut butter pine cone with birdseed. More advanced projects include a miniature garden paradise and an "Air Football" (Soccer) floor game. This is pictured on the front cover on the upper left. Amazingly, you can actually eat some of your projects. There are cookies, jolly orange gelatin boats, chocolate apples, pizza faces and potato porcupines. These would be great recipes to introduce children to cooking. Look for all the books by this author, they are sure to be winners. You will find plenty of ideas for the next birthday party. ~The Rebecca Review Author of Seasoned with Love: A collection of best-loved recipes inspired by over 40 cultures See also:
