Rainy Day Family Fun
/As a baby photographer in Milton Keynes, I know that sometimes the spring weather doesn't always cooperate with our plans!
But just because it's raining outside doesn't mean that you can't have fun with your little ones. In fact, rainy days can provide some unique opportunities for family activities, including photography!
One fun rainy-day activity that I recommend is baking with your little ones. It doesn’t matter if you're making cookies, cakes, or bread, baking is a great way to spend time together and make some delicious treats. And, of course, you can always take some photos of your little ones helping out in the kitchen. I love capturing the joy and excitement (or concentration!) on their faces as they measure out ingredients or stir the batter.
Another rainy-day activity that is perfect for families with young children is indoor fort-building. With a few blankets and some pillows, you can create a cosy and fun fort in your living room. It’s a great activity for little imaginations and goes hand in hand with roleplay and storytelling. And of course, you can take some adorable photos of your little ones playing and snuggling in the fort. These are the memories you’ll cherish as they grow.
If you're feeling adventurous, you can even embrace the weather and head outside. Get wrapped up, put on your wellies and go puddle jumping! Maybe head to the woods where there’s a little more shelter and go on a scavenger hunt or head to a local woodland cafe for a warm drink. Howe Park Wood or Linford Wood is great for that!
Finally, don't underestimate the power of a good book on a rainy day. Reading together is a great way to bond with your little ones and stimulate their imaginations. Don’t forget to snap a few photos of your little ones snuggled up with their favourite book, you so quickly forget the books they enjoyed and the characters they loved.
