Rainy day fun

At the moment it's hard to think about rainy days in the 32 degree heat. Isabella's been busy in the water in the garden all week.

That said, we are due some rain at the weekend - the days when two-year-olds need plenty of entertainment. Here are some of the rainy day activities I'm planning.

1. Indoor water play

Isabella loves water so a bath can easily take up to an hour with her. She has plenty of toys too.

2. The train track

We're just getting to the stage where she will play with this for longer and by herself providing we make enough space and let her leave it out.

3. Disney films

I bought Aristocats a while back so I'm looking forward to watching that with her. We already did Jungle Book, Bambi, Lion King and Little Mermaid with our little animal lover.

4. Jigsaws

She's also becoming more independent with jigsaws. Unfortunately the regular ones aren't surviving as well as the wooden ones but it's still good fun.

5. Drawing

Isabella's had these for a while. She's generally good at keeping them on paper and they do wipe off the table quite easily. She will colour by herself for a while.
