Make a wardrobe for a favourite toy from an old box. It could be decorated anyway you like.
Ask someone to help you make jellied oranges. First halve the oranges. Then take out the orange pulp, being careful not to make a hole in the orange skin. Make some jelly (some orange juice can be added instead of all the water). Carefully pour the jelly into the orange skin halves, and let them set in the fridge. Cut the halves into segments.. Delicious! Use any colour jelly you like.

On a rainy day, you could make your own obstacle course with a friend. Maybe under a table, over a pillow, near a chair, in a box, or any where you think would be suitable and fun, you could also make up a chant to go with it.
Every leaf is a different shape, size and colour green, or other colours. Count how many different ones you can see when you are out walking, or in your own garden.

Ideas for Later
If you put an old sheet or rug on the floor, you could pretend you are in space, and go for a space walk. Then add a large box to the sheet, and this could become a space station…pretend that you have a meal, and you are floating around. Or play any space game you like.
On a starry night you can look up in the sky and see many stars, but watch for a while and see if you notice a falling star or a satellite.
Make a night sky collage picture and use different pieces of paper e.g. scrunched up cellophane etc to make it interesting.
