Here’s our list of favorite rainy-day activities to do with your child who is visually impaired.

1. Listen to “It’s Raining Outside” by Nancy Kopman
2. Read a book together about rain.
3. Go outside and feel the rain on your face or splash in a puddle.
4. Count raindrops.  How many raindrops fill an empty cup?
5. Talk about how rain makes things grow and plant a container garden.
6. What is wet INSIDE your home?  Are the dishes in your sink wet?  Is the dog’s nose wet? Why do we wash our hands or brush our teeth?
7. Sing a song about the rain or make up your own rain rhyme.
8. Make a “sensory-recipe” such as pumpkin pie play dough
9. Splish, splash in a bathtub or a smaller tub of water.  Add bubbles, cups and other favorite toys.
