Welcome!
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and let's chat!
I'm Cerys, the creative mum behind Rainy Day Mum.
I was in survival mode!
Just going day to day with an under 2 and a 3-month-old.
Seriously!
What can you actually do with an under 2 and a baby at home?
I searched high and low for ideas.
Found lots that said they were toddler ideas!
Let me tell you they lied!
So I set myself a challenge each and every day I would do a simple activity at home and share it with friends and family here on Rainy Day Mum.
At first, those activities were crafts, crafts that my mum had done with me, classic, simple and easy to do at home.
Easy toddler crafts that a toddler could actually do with either no or very little help from you.
As the toddler got older and the baby became a toddler we started simple activities to support the learning of letters, numbers, shapes, colours, motor skills and more.
We found a passion for gardening and cooking and started to share those ideas as well.
And my background as a marine biologist and love of nature and wildlife flourished.
We raised tadpoles on the dining room table and went rock pooling with a 2-year-old!
