5 Ideas to Keep the Kids Entertained in Bad Weather

It’s happened to the best of us. You have planned a fun-packed day out in the great outdoors with the family and then the weather plays spoilsport. You become distressed and frantically try and think of something that will keep the children occupied at home but it’s not an easy task. Don’t let the bad weather dampen your spirits. We’ve put together five ideas for when stepping over the doorstep and braving the terrible weather just isn’t an option.

Create your own t-shirts

Help your children find their inner crafter by designing their own funky t-shirts. They can create their own designs using a range of coloured paints and dyes. You can find a great range of art and craft products including dyeing and painting supplies at George Weil, they are effective on silk and finely natural fabrics such as cotton.

Build a fort

We all have great childhood memories of making forts in the living room with mum and dad. Why not test your children’s team working skills and together build a fort using hordes of cushions, pillows, blankets and duvets (you could even create different compartments to the fort). Once you are all comfortable inside, enjoy a banquet of sandwiches and cakes whilst acting like royalty in your impressive creation.
