Try out these great tips for playing outside on a warm, wet and day:
*Put on boots and a raincoat and go puddle jumping. Search for the biggest puddle, the smallest puddle and count how many puddles you can find to splash in!*If it is warm enough, or the rain has stopped, trade the boots and raincoat for water shoes and an old bathing suit. Bring out your beach toys or bath toys. Boats that float, rubber ducks, colanders/strainers or just ordinary cups turn rain or mud puddles into tons of fun.
*Go on a rainy day scavenger hunt. Make an simple list of things they might find on a wet day and let them explore your yard or neighborhood to find them. (example: a worm, a puddle with rocks in it, a mud puddle, a wet leaf on the ground, an umbrella, a wet flower, something red with raindrops on it, etc...)
So next time it is rainy, get ready to get outside and get wet!! And let us know your favorite way to play in the rain.

I learned this yesterday at my daughter's kindergarten picnic (it was of course rained out so we needed to improvise and come up with indoor activities for 125 5-6 year olds.) For face painting use regular tempera paint mixed with a squirt of dish soap. The paint is non toxic and the soap helps it to wash off easily. It still dries the same and is much less expensive then craft store face paints, sticks or creams.
Nice tip Janice...thanks for sharing
