With bad weather blanketing much of the country, I decided to compile a list of our favorite
bad weather activities. Something happens to kids when they are cooped up indoors. They go kinda crazy. This in turn makes mamas a little crazy as well. In the interest of reducing the crazy (always a good thing) I picked activities that are done indoors and require supplies that most people already have at home. No one wants to go out in a blizzard or downpour to pick up supplies for a kids activity. So whether you are home because of snow or rain, these bad weather activities will keep your kids from going off the deep end...and taking you with them.
