I turned to the dance/electronica music channel for the nonstop, upbeat music, told the kids there were 3 rules: no flipping, hitting, nor jumping on the couch.
They jumped, turned, twirled, rolled around and more while I stood in front of the tv so they wouldn't hurt themselves. They enjoyed not having to sit still, be quiet, listen etc. Best 30 minute activity in a long time since we haven't been able to go outside due to rain for two days. Now they are resting, then water, then centers! I hope everyone whose having bad weather is having fun inside, we sure are.

I LOOOVE to dance with the kids too! We do this almost everyday also. Their favorite dance song is Party Rock Anthem!
Two more of my rainy day favorites:
1- Break out the play tunnels and play tents that usually keep stored in the closet for special rainy days or snow days
2- Blow up some of the BIG punch balloons! The toddlers love to just carry them around (and they are super thick so they do NOT pop easily). The pre-k crew love to play the game of "keep the balloon off the ground". It makes them work as a team and gets energy out at the same time!
