When rainy days ruin your outdoor plans, let the kids bounce off the walls…just not yours. Let them paint and make crafts…just not at your house. Here are some of our favorite indoor activities to do with kids in Metro Detroit!
Get Creative
Don’t worry about making a mess at home and head out for some arts and crafts. Drop in to a local art shop for pottery, painting and more. Or reserve tickets and explore the Detroit Institute of Arts for FREE (if you’re a resident of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties) to find inspiration from great artists throughout history.
