It's raining or it's cold and the children are stuck indoors. Here are 160 activities to keep children occupied that can easily be done using common articles around the house and with little or no parental supervision. Children can build a volcano and make it errupt; dazzle friends with newly gained psychic powers; write a letter in one-time code; and master magic tricks. For really housebound days there are hours-long activities such as publishing a family newspaper, opening a restaurant in the dining room and beach ball bowling.
