Mazes
If crossword puzzles aren’t your child’s style, perhaps he will enjoy navigating through our super fun free printable mazes. Again, we have mazes in a range of difficulty levels so that you’ll find something suitable for most age groups. Our mazes are in fun shapes and colors, including flower shaped, apple shaped, cowboy shaped and more. Your kids will have a blast while they try to work their way out of these tricky mazes. In addition to using them for rainy days, you can also print them out and take them with you as a ride along activity for a road trip. They’ll keep the kids busy and entertained while you get going where you need to go.
Board Games
Finally, who doesn’t love a good board game on a rainy day? They’re the favorite go-to activity of many families, and for good reason. They’re tons of fun! We have free printable board games that you can print out and make up your own rules as you go along. These games feature dolphins, dogs and more. Also in the board games category, you’ll find an amazing assortment of printable jigsaw puzzles for some of your children’s favorite characters!
