I misread this as "what do you do with bad MINDEES"
In answer to your actual question ...
Indoors we do:
Baking days which normally includes making something for lunch like homemade pizzas.
Movie days with the curtains shut and popcorn
Craft days - make play dough, salt dough etc
Role play days - I will set up a shop. or doctors etc. If I can find one I will include a big box for them to use their imaginations with - normally becomes an ambulance, car etc
Outdoors we wrap up warm and visit the parks, go for walks, feed the ducks.
Soft plays are good and ***** have a whats on page for local area
Our local lesuire centre has things on too, bouncy castle day etc
Swimming
Visit the pet shops/fish shops to see the animals
Bowling

I hope that helps

Well even though it was cold and a bit wet we still went to local country park and met up with some other minders from the forum and even had a picnic under awning with patio heaters on! Went for a muddy walk and fed the ducks. Nice to get out for a couple of hours. We would also do things like go to the library and museum if we wanted to go out but not outside and if I was really desperate would go to a soft play centre (try and avoid during school hols as the can be a nightmare). Or we may just go out somewhere for lunch to break up the day.

I am building up a stock of waterproof trousers and coats so we can still go out and play everywhere.

Also go to the library and museums, even a ride on a bus or train and back
