10 Sanity Savers For A Rainy Day

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

If you’ve got high energy kids, super outgoing kids, or kids at varied ages, being stuck inside on those winter rainy day stuck inside can be challenging. What’s more, if you or the kids aren’t into glitter and glue guns (because let’s face it, not all kids like craft) you’re probably wondering how on earth you’re going to spend eight long hours together right?

Trust me, I feel you. I wrote this guest post for Emma (@fivedegreesofchaos) recently and when she gave me the topic of hot tips to save your sanity on rainy days she said, “because nannies are far more creative than parents”.

Well that may be so, but let me tell you – even though I’m a nanny with (supposedly) a plethora of DIY, crafty, highly engaging activities up my sleeve (and a dedicated Pinterest board to boot) rainy days can be tough.

On the days when I arrive at 7.45am to find Miss7 still in her pyjamas on the couch and no movement from upstairs to suggest that school is happening, I sigh inwardly and lament that it’s going to be a long day housebound.

So I’ve consulted my ‘nanny bag of tricks’ and put together this list of 10 Sanity Savers for a Rainy Day to keep you and the kids busy (and sane) on those rainy wet days this winter. You’re welcome!
