More about this collection
Rainy days are perfect for a mini project. Draw a character with a lesson, colour them, then put them in a comic. Or read a story, then write and draw what happens next. Turning single sheets into a small project keeps interest much longer.
Many of these activities scale up for siblings and friends: a drawing contest with the same lesson, a group comic, or a spot-the-difference race. Keep a rainy-day folder ready in advance, so you are not hunting for ideas when everyone is already bored. A few printed pages, some pencils and a picture book go a long way.
How to use these
- Combine a drawing lesson and a comic template into one project.
- Read a story and draw an alternative ending.
- Watch the rain and use a weather word game afterwards.
