Rainy listings...
And so its been raining non-stop today. Rainy days are not fun because it deters the crowd, keep people away from our stores and makes us all feel lazy. =( What more with today being Monday! It has definitely been a very lazy Monday! Most times, even though its raining, some of us would do whatever it takes to spend our day out... 
But we can't. So to keep ourselves entertained today, we came up with a list of things one can do on a rainy day and during this school holidays too! Check out our previous to-do-list too!
1. The standard deal: Indoor games, board games etc.
But don't just settle for the normal games: chess, checkers, UNO, Scrabble etc...for new twists to board games, try this whole range of games we've brought in by Gamewright, Outset Media and Baffle Gab (Our new stock arrive last week, so full details up soon!)
Current favourites would be a toss-up between Luck of the Draw and Pick Two Deluxe.
Luck of the Draw is a game for the Artistically Challenged.
Think you're the next Picasso? or the next Artmaker?Can't draw a stick figure to save your life? Either way, you'll love playing this off-the-wall party game where you don't have to be the first artist to win. First scramble to scribble a mini masterpiece in 45 seconds. Then vote on whose drawing best fits one of the 100 creative categories. Will yours be the neatest? The sluggliest? The most likely to hang on a refrigerator? Win the most votes and you've got the Luck of the Draw! Sure to reinforce language and vocabulary development, creativity and imagination. For ages 10 to 98 and for 4 to 8 players, your whole household can join in the fun too! 
Pick Two Deluxe is the always-changing, ever-rearranging crossword game. Players draw tiles, building their own personal crosswords as fast as they can. Whenever players use all their letters they yell "Pick Two" and everyone draws two more tiles.
The catch? These tiles must now be added to your crossword.
The best part? You can always change your crossword by rearranging letters and even words to use up your tiles. When the centre pile of tiles is gone, the first one done wins the round.
What makes PickTwo Deluxe so good?
It's fast, it's exciting, and it's a game where everyone is playing at the same time. There is none of this sitting around watching someone think about what word to play next.
For ages 8 to 98! Up to 8 players.
Just think Scrabble but no more waiting for your turns!
We have also got the whole Professor Noggin's card games series:
An award-winning series, each game in the Professor Noggin's series combines trivia, true/false, and multiple choice questions using 30 professionally illustrated cards and a special three-numbered dice in each game. Players learn unusual facts on topics like insects, reptiles and amphibians, ocean life, dinosaurs, science, inventions and wildlife. Through the games, please players enhance their communication skills and knowledge, all while having fun!
Flash your CzipCard to enjoy some discounts when you purchase any of the games. If you have not got a card yet, find out how you can get one here!
2. Jump over or in mud puddles.
3. Dance in the rain. (For #2 and #3: Kids, please ask for your parent's permission first!)
4. Paint a picture of a rainbow or make one with modelling clay:
Here's a trivia for you: True or False? A rainbow has 6 colors. If you said false, you are correct! A rainbow is made up of a whole continuum of colors.
5. Have an indoor picnic. Throw a blanket on the floor and break out the sandwiches and cheese.
Last but not the least: Make a list of all the things that make you smile, laugh, and cry.
Things that make us smile:
Happy, satisfied customers. 
Things that make us laugh:
Very happy and very satisfied customers. 
Things that make us cry:
