25 Rainy Day Crafts and Activities for Kids

Goin' to the Zoo

Sure, a rainy day may not be ideal for a day out at the zoo, but who says you can't make your own zoo — like this cool pop-up paper zoo featured on TinkerLab!

To get started on your own pop-up zoo, you'll only need to have cardstock on hand, along with scissors, and all of your favorite coloring tools (markers, crayons, colored pencils). Simply cut out your animal shapes and get to work on decking them out with all of the bells and whistles — er, that is fur and feathers! Once your animals are complete, cut a slit in the bottom of each one and add another piece of cardstock to make them 3D — easy! Check out Mom Rachelle's full post for more details, and to see up-close pictures of her daughter's paper menagerie.
