Rainy Days & Saturdays

by Linda Hetzer, Deborah Zemke (Illustrator)

It's raining. Or it's cold. Or it's just one of those days. The kids are stuck indoors. What to do? What to do is to reach for Linda Hetzer's Rainy Days and Saturdays, a family lifesaver of 160 engaging activities that can all be easily done using stuff from around the house and with little or no parental supervision. Kids can build a volcano and make it erupt. Plan a carnival. Write a letter in one-time code. Publish a family newspaper. Build a log cabin playhouse (out of cardboard tubes and a very large box). Plant a kitchen vegetable garden, and produce a family video. Suitable for ages 7-11.
