By Mary Whitman A “rainy day" box belongs In every home. Any cardboard carton or lidded box will do. You can decorate it for cheerful appearance by* covering it with plain paper and letting the children draw raindrops and umbrellas with crayons. Or use gift paper ot the tsrpe-suitable for showers. Into a rainy-day ’ box go all -kinds of objects a child can play with — • buttons, paper cups, toothpicks, colored string, straws, cardboard tubes, cereal boxes, empty spools. Most are household items. And a reminder to parents is passed on by the editors of "Whitman Publishing Company* of Racine, Wisconsin. The counters of variety stores also have assorted fun boxes, seeing cards, paper doll books, crayons, magic slates, colored pencils, make believe money and other play materials that are handy in a rainy-day collection. The box gets taken down from the closet shelf when it rains. It provides dozens ot projects for the youngsters. Some children will think up their own ideas. Others need help. Making games is a popular pastime. A> bean bag can be made -by making a pocket of leftover fabric, filling it with xiried beans or macaroni or rice, then sewing the top. Holes can be-cut out ot a large piece of cardboard, with each opening then marked with a score for throwing. The children take turns pitching the bean bag for a winning score of 100. Hound cereal boxes can be t turned into doll cradles for girls. Or the boys can make a toy telephone by attaching a wire between two boxes. A flotilla of bathtub boats can be made out of floating “soap. A game of “store” can played with canned goods, . money, and crayoned signs. Paper cups can hold a bouquet of lyjlght flowers drawn in crayon and mounted oft paper straws. All these projects keep dispositions sunny —- even when the weather' '
