[quote=Anonymous]Another idea (twin mom here) depending on how mobile they are, is to take all the pillows and cushions off a couch (or from beds or whatever) and throw them all on the floor and let them climb all over them.  The novelty is fun for them, and it's a way to get them some safe (and sometimes entertaining) exercise.  15 months is a little young for fort building probably, but this is a good precursor.

Also - do you have any large cardboard boxes around?  Climbing in and out of those is big fun, and you can drag them around in them like a little train.  Or you can do that with a cooler also.  (Requires a decent back and some stamina though!)

And you can also put on rain gear (or even just a couple of decent layers) and let them go play in the rain.  So they get wet?  Big deal - it's warm enough.  Then into the tub to warm up and just toss all the clothes in the dryer.  That will tire them out for a nap.

And sometimes I pull out a plastic colander and some wooden spoons and let them bang away to their hearts content.

Whatever works!

Good luck!

(BTW, lest I sound too competent, I have an amazing nanny who bears the brunt of this work at our house.  I can barely stand it through a weekend of miserable weather!)[/quote]
