Today was kind of overcast and there was a constant threat of rain. I am not sure it actually rained all that much, but we only spent a little while outside. Though it is always a challenge to find indoor activities, coloring is a crowd pleaser, though the attention spans aren't long enough for it to last more than about 10-15 minutes. They all got crayons and notebooks for Easter so for awhile at least they happily colored. Hannah doesn't totally get coloring yet, though if you try to tell her she doesn't get to color when everyone else is, there will be some major issues, so she had stickers too and made a few scribbles before deciding eating crayons and throwing them were more fun (which means coloring time is over for her). But she is getting better all the time so I think in the next few months she will be able to enjoy marking on the paper more. Joshua probably wouldn't ever ask to color as he prefers more gross-motor type of things, but Clara really likes to color and shows age-appropriate interest in letters and things like that, so I think it's more her thing.
