Rainy Days w/ Monkeys

turn a Rainy Weekend into an event

BALLOONS!  (active play) A ball play area staged with soft stuffies & chairs around a smallish space, and filled with balloons.  How simple, and fun!  I’m afraid my cute little girls couldn’t keep them inside the space, which would have been more fun for mommy.  But they are easily cleaned up with a pin.

RICE RICE RICE (quiet play) A large under bed storage box filled a couple inches thick with rice, a couple measuring cups, scoops, and sandwich containers, and they’ll have hours of fun.  Place this under-bed box on the kitchen table over linoleum, or on a plastic table cloth for easy clean up.  And it’s completely safe for little ones to mouth.

BE A MONKEY  (snack) Slices of bananas smeared with peanut butter, add small currents or cut up raisins for my daughter’s favorite thing in the world - “appy thace”. 

Another snack: sprinkled shredded cheese on rice crackers and melt in the microwave. 

EASY SUPPER: pancakes, & ssg.
