Monsoon is here and it’s raining everywhere. As promised, here goes our #Monsoonblogging post. Rain is Nature’s gift to mankind. Rain indicates flourishing. It the right season for farmers. Plants grow well with the pour of rain. The climate will be cool and dust free.

All these are enjoyable to some extent only. And if you are a mom of toddlers or preschoolers, then not to mention how difficult is to engage them at home. Due to the fear of infection and seasonal diseases, it’s hard to allow them outside during rain. But staying inside for a long makes them bored and irritated. So here are some Fun Indoor Activities During Monsoon to bust out the boredom and keep your kids engaged.
Pretend Play
You can pretend like an animal and ask them to guess. You can also pretend like a person in your family and ask them to try who is it? Also is there any kids who don’t love super heroes and barbies? So put on their super hero dresses and make them act like him or her.

Painting
Kids love drawing and painting. So give them some blank sheets, color pencils or sketches. And encourage them to draw and paint creatively and at free hand. Vegetable painting, Finger Painting, Stone Painting and Free Hand Drawing are some of the fun painting activities for the toddlers and preschoolers. You can also frame them after completion. It helps in the development of their creativity.

Silly Songs
Use your kitchen utensils, waste shoe boxes, strings and sticks to compose your own music. Also you can sing some silly songs with your kids. This activity can bring out the hidden talents of your kids.
