The weather at Bright Start Academy O'Fallon this time of year can go one of two ways:  hot, humid and dry or hot, humid and stormy. When it's dry out, it's easy to help your little one run their engine down for nap time or bedtime. After all, a day in the pool or running through the sprinkler can tire out even the most energetic little firecracker! But when it's stormy out, it's a lot harder to tire a toddler out!

When you have a wound-up child running stir-crazy in the house, you need to think fast to come up with something to entertain them, or you'll go crazy just trying to corral them! It's not their fault, toddlers and preschoolers have a lot of energy because their bodies are doing so much growing and learning. That is why at Bright Start Academy O'Fallon, we know that having a stash of ideas and activities for those times when playing outside isn't an option can make both you and your child much happier!

What preschoolers miss most when they can't go outside is all the running and climbing and jumping around they get to do, especially at our incredible playground area at Bright Start Academy O'Fallon. That's where rainy day activities for preschoolers are the most fun! One of our favorite things to do is to bring the playground inside, having the Bright Start Academy O'Fallon children build obstacle courses and make blanket forts!

You can do this at home helping them set up pillows and have your child jump from one to the next, build a fort and crawl through the tunnels after your child playing a silly game of tag, or even pitch an easy tent together and make-believe your camping in the wilderness. Give them the opportunity to yell out and scream as they jump across the pillows, bring their stuffed animals along on your camp out and hide them so that they can search and rescue them, or even eat a simple lunch in the fort you've built together.

Sometimes the rain comes later in the afternoon, and our caregivers at Bright Start Academy O'Fallon find that there's not enough time to make forts, that's why we keep play dough on hand! If your time and space is more limited, make up some play dough ahead of time and store it away for a rainy day, or have your child help you make a fresh batch! Play dough tends to be a favorite rainy day activities for all of the age groups at Bright Start Academy O'Fallon! We like to mix it up a bit by adding a little cinnamon or lemon juice to change up the smell, or add some uncooked rice or lentils to give it some texture.

You can color it any color of the rainbow...the ways you can change it up are endless! Then break out the cookie cutters, safety scissors and rolling pin and start squishing and slicing and cutting, making pizzas and cookies galore! Or roll the play dough out on a cookie sheet and bring out the plastic dinosaurs. Your child can watch as they make dino tracks across the "terrain", create trees and volcanoes and more! You'll see your child's imagination explode as they have fun sculpting and molding with something so easy and safe, made right in your kitchen!

When the skies get cloudy, even the teachers at Bright Start Academy O'Fallon wish the children could be outside running off all that pent-up energy! Young children just aren't meant to sit still for very long, and you shouldn't expect them to! But if they don't have something to hold their attention and keep them busy, it can end up being a frustrating day for everyone.

A little cache of rainy day activities can be just the thing to make sure your little one stays busy and out of trouble.  Having fun and running off that excess energy can be just what you and your child needs to turn a stormy day into a great day. And when nap time comes...you'll both be ready!
