April showers might bring May flowers, but springtime means you never know when there will be a rainy day. We asked the Savvy Auntourage on Facebook how they like to spend a rainy day with their nieces and nephews, and we got some great ideas. Feel free to add your responses below!

1. Watchin' movies with our sunglasses on! – Trish Suhr
 
2. Jigsaw puzzles and board games are always a great idea! – Hilary Anne Kotler

3. I love painting my 2 year old niece's nails, reading books and singing songs :) – Mandy Saxe Bowren

4. I used to play hide and seek in the house with my 2 nephews! They loved it. Now that they are older, it's usually going to mall or ordering pizza and watching movies – Rawkstar Davis

5. Baking treats and goodies ;) – Candance Gogola

6. We're always up for cooking or baking -- the kiddos LOVE kitchen adventures :) – Christy Moe Marek

7. My 3 year old nephew is at the perfect age for the movies!!!! We took him to his first 3D movie a week ago!! He loved it!!! – Haley Deemer Hawkins

8. My nephews and I LOVE to play on the wii. Just Dance 3 is a fave, and when we're not together, we connect on the wii internet and play mario cart – Peggy Stewart Weber

9. My nieces love to make jewelry and play dress up. – Lilo Jones

10. Put on our raincoats and play in the puddles! – Alodie Penarubia

11. If it is 70 + degrees, we take natural showers! Throw on our bathing suits and splash in the puddles then find a storm drain to shower under. We never laugh so much. – Virginia Miller

12. We do all sorts of things, baking, watching movies, and our number one favorite is doing crafts. I have boxes and boxes up odds and ends things, and we have created some really cool stuff! – Denna Neal Chenault
