Next time you are stuck in the house with nothing to do, check out this list of fun rainy day craft projects. Not only will you find fun craft projects to help pass the time until you can get outside and play, but many can be played with after the crafting is done. Of course, you can also search for a craft project keeping the kids' ages, interests, and even gender in mind.
If you make any of these rainy day crafts, make sure you send in a photo to be included here. You can also get your crafts published.
