The Rainy Day Book

Just right for those bad-weather days when there's nothing to do, the paper-over-board The Rainy Day Book by Jane Bull includes plenty of creative projects for kids, using everyday household objects and easy-to-find supplies. Children can use face paints to paint their hands into characters; create a cage for their stuffed animals from a corrugated box; and make a rain catcher to measure precipitation. Easy-to-follow directions and clear photographs make this a welcome resource.
