Best Rainy Day Activities for Kids

So the weather is messing with your plans again, huh? Don’t stress too much, because ClassBento may have the best rainy day activities for kids when you have to change plans at the last minute! We understand the grief. You have a whole day laid out in front of you, and the moment you get out of bed you here that rain hitting your roof, and what is normally a delightful, borderline ASMR-level experience turns into the sound of ruined plans. 

We get it, trust us. That’s why ClassBento’s new live classes online can help you while away the rainy-day blues with our incredible rainy day activities for kids! If you’re stuck indoors and desperately searching for fun things to do with kids at home, you can quit searching so desperately now. ClassBento’s new online classes for kids brings all the expertise and resources you would get from attending our workshops right into the comfort of your own home. Being resourceful doesn’t have to be difficult, so here are a few quality ways of incorporating our rainy day activities for kids, into your wet weather plans!

Get arty with your rainy day activities for kids

Painting is one of the easiest rainy day activities for kids to sink their teeth into, but it doesn’t always have to be finger-painting! Teaching them to paint a beautiful, pristine landscape isn’t going to fly with most little ones, but an expert artist giving them a small number of guidelines for their imagination to run rampant? Al dente. 

When it comes to our growing range of art classes, our live classes online cater for both adults and children, so definitely pick one that you feel your children would enjoy the most. Not all children are going to want to paint like Van Gogh, but our workshops can get your kids painting things they would have enjoyed painting themselves, anyway! 

Our Paint Your Pet workshop is one of the best things to do with kids at home, provided you have a four-legged muse scampering around the house, of course. Or at the very least, a friendly goldfish. If you want to get the whole family on board, our Painting Partners workshop can have you all trying to paint each other! This is ideal if you’re looking at getting the whole family engaged in an activity they can all enjoy together, the next time the weather ruins your plans. 

Get crafty with your rainy day activities for kids

When digging around for indoor activities for kids, it’s always important to remember the three C’s: crafting, creating and cooking! We may have just made them up then, sure, but we’ll stand by them.

Teaching kids how to craft is one of the most rewarding things to do at home, and helps kids engage with their imaginations! If you can’t keep their body active, the next best thing is keeping the brain active! ClassBento’s live classes online can offer your munchkins the chance to delve into a brand new skill set and get as creative as they want. Our macrame classes are one of the best indoor activities for kids as it requires no sharp knitting needles, and instead, uses a series of intricate ties and knots to create quirky and interesting shapes and designs. 

Although they may be stuck at home, they can still get a workout, learning how to craft unique keychains, wall-hanging pieces, and anywhere else their creativity takes them! If you’re looking for things to do at home with slightly older kids, our punch needle embroidery workshop is ideal! Using a needle pen, they’ll be able to play with hundreds of colours as they build and create their own unique designs, and easily embroider them onto any fabric of their choice. Although this workshop is one of our most colourful and creative on offer, it’s strongly recommended for older children with adult supervision. 

Although our live classes online don’t have any cooking workshops just yet, doing some easy baking recipes are a fantastic way to burn a few cloudy hours when hunting down rainy day activities for kids. With all that crafting and creating going on, the little ones are really going to work up an appetite, and getting them into the kitchen making simple snacks such as cookies is a great way to diversify their skillset, and keep them from lamenting the weather. 

In fact, our Easter felting workshop will show you and the kids how to make festive rabbits that are perfect as a boiled egg covering, so you can give breakfast a healthy dash of easter celebrations when the weather takes a turn.

Get soapy with your rainy day activities for kids

As aforementioned, ClassBento’s live classes online aren’t currently offering cooking classes for food. You can, however, cook up some delectable self-care products! Perfect for things to do at home with kids who love to pamper themselves, making your own soap offers you the ability to not only craft soap well into the future, but create flavours and scents of your own! 

It’s an incredibly fun process and will have everyone smelling like roses, next time the weather works against you. Everything you need to complete the class will be delivered to you via our new craft box delivery service, so you and the kids can indulge in one of the quirkiest online classes we have available! For slightly older kids, our coffee scrub class can get them learning the basics of skincare without spending a fortune on beauty products! Obviously these live classes online aren’t going to suit every teenager or younger kid, but for those showing an interest in these areas, these make for the perfect rainy day activities. 

However you choose to spend your rainy day activities for kids, ClassBento’s new live classes online will certainly help you take a step in the right direction. Whether it’s getting arty, crafty, soapy or creative, there are so many different ways to distract yourself from otherwise-cancelled plans. Don’t go glum next time the rain sets in, get creative with ClassBento’s range of online classes and indoor activities for kids!
