Keep Items on Hand for Rainy Days
Keep age appropriate items on hand for a rainy day. Small children you could keep sticker books, coloring books and crayons. Buy some inexpensive toys and have them hidden bring them out on the rainy day
For older kids you could buy a bit higher priced items when they are at a good clearance price.

Water Hose
Some of my fondest memories are from playing with a water hose. My grandparents made a game of it and we all loved it.

Museums

Go to the Park
Trips to the park will give your child/children an opportunity to use up a lot of energy and possibly give you a chance to breath. (Depending on your child’s age)

Plant a Flower Garden
Plant a small flower garden with your child/children and let them know it is for the both of you to care for. You may be surprised at how thrilled some children become also another form of teaching reasonability.
