10 Rainy Day Crafts and Activities for Kids

Rainy Day Cruisin'

Put your recycling to good use the next time bad weather keeps your kids indoors and make cool homemade box cars like this one featured on Laugh, Paint, Create!

Mama Erin explains that though she made these cool cars with a class of ten kids, it's a great project to do with only a handful of little ones at home -- and involves much less prep work. To decorate your mini autos, Erin recommends using colored (electrical) tape, paper plates, plastic cups and paper. See Erin's great walkthrough for the full scoop on making the suspenders and everything else... We can't get enough of those plastic cup headlights!
