A fun and easy activity with little kids for a rainy day or otherwise is to take them to an 'everything's a dollar' store (like Dollar Tree here, by Walmart on 441/27, or there may be others) and give them a few dollars and let them 'shop' to their heart's content. It is fun and exciting for them. We go through all of the store looking, although they will end up at the toy/coloring book section. I've had them spend an hour or more exploring and changing their minds, and come home with a big bag of 'stuff' to entertain themselves with. It's a fun lesson in counting, comparing value, etc.

The world needs dreamers; the world needs 'do'-ers. But most of all, the world needs dreamers who are do-ers.
