Rainy Day Schedule For Toddlers
When I see rain in our forecast, I know we will probably be spending the day inside. As a toddler mom, these are the days I look forward to the least! My little man is a BUSY boy and he loves to be on the go. I created this schedule to keep him active and happy, even on the rainiest days. If you have an energetic toddler like mine, this rainy day schedule for toddlers will help you through those long days spend indoors.
