board games, coloring, playdoh with cookie cutters ( you can even make your own playdoh), gak (you can make your own), baking together- decorate cookies, buy some of those foam shapes and make animals, posters or puppets with them. Get large craft paper or use the back side of wrapping paper and make posters or trace his body and have him decorate it, Beading with large beads on shoe laces, cutting with childproof scissors- works on fine motor skills.
Just Go to the craft store for ideas or crayola.com, or abcteach.com

If its warm inside get out the little splash pool and set it up and throw Daddy a Beach party picnic.
You can spend all day making tropical paper flowers or palm tree paintings and sand art, where you make lines with glue then sprinkle with colored sand. You can use food coloring and salt to simulates sand.
But get out the summer fun and end up with bath time in the living room pool after the picnic. Throw down a tarp maybe a blue one then the pool and fish soaps and sponges.
Leis are: take apart a couple of silk flowers and cut some plastic straws into two inch long sections. With twine, thread flower petal then a straw then a flower petal.
After JR is in bed have a nice mai tai or pina colada with the grown ups.

I remember doing play-doh when i was young. Just try to keep the ground safe if he is going to play in a carpeted area, place some papers on the floor and if he mixes the play-doh, then he has new colors. maybe even stick with the basics (red, yellow, blue, white, and black) That way he could learn how to make green or pink or something and at the same time be making a bald person blonde, blue, whatever. For christmas i got a bucket of clay to form with my grandpa when he gets home, so i would say: try oven safe firing clay, and one day sculpt them, then burn them, let them sit overnight (they get really hot) the next day pull out the paints and paint them, also get molds, like a dog, cat, a face and try painting each others on them. You could get a press to make hair, ears, shapes whatever. it is a bit costly but it will last a long time.
Another thing is Shrinky-Dinks. Get the color in ones and blank pages so creativity can flow, a blue dog, a bunch of swirls. You could even make it a birthday gift for grandma or something. Kids love doing things hands on and arts are a good direction for them. A+ for you and your kid :)

My 3 year old and I love www.dltk-kids.com - it has great ideas.
We love the toilet roll crafts. You print off the template, colour it in and cut it out and stick it on. They have every character he could ever love including superman, ninja turtles etc.
Even better if you like art is
www.hitentertainment.com/ artattack - it is from a UK tv show and the ideas are fantastic.
We sit at the computer and pick the one we like and then print off how to make it and we make it. We made the paper castle sitting in cotton ball clouds and hung it from his ceiling.
My friends can't believe my 3 year old made it!

Painting on paper, play doh, tracing templates, drawing pictures, tracing their hands. Or to teach numbers or letters, put a letter M or number 7 on a paper, and have him make a picture out of it. Build a fort with a blanket and 4 chairs. Make pirate hats.

Finger painting, or BAKE, kids are never too young to toss ingredients in a bowl, just buy a bag of semichocolate chips and the recipe for awesome chocolate chip cookies is on the bag!

Rain is often a brilliant spring-board into speaking approximately climate (in case you have no longer already), and you will draw photos, write sentences, or examine categories of climate. you additionally could have your classification be "climate forecasters" and look at the predictions for the week forward (for older young infants, use words interior the predictions, yet for the greater youthful ones, photos are hassle-free). wet days are additionally good circumstances to play indoor video games like silent ball, freeze dance, 4 sq., and so on. As constantly, tale time, classification discussions, share in study, (each and each classification member gets to tell the class a quick tale or something they have discovered to debate it), and sing-alongside are super "escapes" on wet days.
