My favorite rainy day activity as a kid was fuse beads. Now, it’s my youngest’s turn.
This kit includes everything you need to get started: 4,000 beads in 16 colors, a storage tray, and a pattern book. My son uses the pattern book for ideas but also makes up his own creations (including a very elaborate narwhal and “rainbow garden”).
This fuse bead starter set is under $15 on Amazon. There are other colors/pattern books available as well.
