Rainy day fun

Rainy days got you down? Not our kiddos! At the Academy of Forrest Crossing we take full advantage of the rain! We love getting to go outside and have fun but when the rain comes we make even more fun inside! Gross motor activities play an important part in physical development for our growing friends. Creating indoor obstacle courses, playing with parachutes, having dance parties, and sometimes even breaking out special equipment like a bounce house are all great ways to get those little bodies moving and grooving and growing! These activities also help to get those silly mid day wiggles out. Going outside and playing on the jungle gym, throwing balls, and running in races are always so much fun, but when the rain comes our kiddos know that some special rainy day fun is coming their way.  So even though sometimes the rain can be a bummer, we still have a blast! 

There are so many ways to have fun with a parachute! We can put balls in the middles and make them move like popcorn. Or we can pop the parachute up and quickly get under it and create a bubble! 

Look at those skills! We love getting to practice our bean bag tossing game! 

Does a rainy day ever put you in the mood to play a board game? These preK kids love breaking out board games when the weather gets yucky.

Our infants love getting outside too but when the rain comes we improvise!! These babies love getting to stroll around and look at all the fish! 

Taking turns hoping on, around, and over the buckets! 

Slide, scoot, walk, or tiptoe across the climber to the end! 

How fun is this!? A bounce house?? INSIDE?? crazy! 

Can you crawl through the tunnel and then walk across the climber? Be sure to finish with a creative dismount! 

We love when the bounce house gets set up! Its so fun to see the kid's faces when they see it! 

Dance party!! We love getting to have dance parties. We usually add things like scarves or instruments to amp it up! 

These kiddos had so much fun jumping around with their friends. This is such an exciting activity for them to do!
