Yes, it’s rainy today. Or you can say, “Yes! It’s rainy today!” It’s the perfect excuse to spend the day immersed in books, accompanied by a warm cup of tea. (You can have hot cocoa or coffee if you prefer.) The sound of rain outside adds an extra layer of awesomeness to your reading. (“I want to dive into your ocean. Is it raining with you?”)

Have you ever had an indoor picnic? Just lay out a checkered blanket, prepare some delicious snacks, and enjoy a picnic-style meal in the comfort of your living room!

I like to draw when it rains. Freehand and with drawing apps on my iPad. (Here's an example of something quick and fun using the Brushes app.) The rain can be a great source of inspiration for creating beautiful art pieces.

Get cooking! Experimenting with flavor combinations in the kitchen is a delightful way to spend a rainy day. (And tasty!)

Make and watch a playlist featuring your favorite films. (Remember the popcorn and blankets.)

Challenge yourself with a jigsaw puzzle or brain-teaser games. (This one’s a classic: try to count how many times the players wearing white pass the basketball.)
