I love the smell of rain on rainy days. Especially if I’m home, and not out and about juggling four wet kids. We’re experiencing the most strange weather in Sydney lately. Terribly hot weeks complete with very dangerous bushfires, followed by sudden drops in temperatures and hail storms?!

As I look through the wonderful collection of kids activities linked up at last week’s Kids’ Co-Op, I can’t help but share these 10 rainy day plays for kids. They’re so fun, we won’t need rain to inspire us to take on these rainy day plays.

Happy playing, because #playmatters.
