The weather is getting colder, gloomier, and rainier in Vancouver, which means we’ve officially started the rainy-portion of our fall season! 

Have you finished watching Squid Game on Netflix and need something else to do? We’ve got you covered ☔   

Stay warm and dry with these indoor activities:

Pender Gai Books - Colouring Book Canada 

There are no rules when it comes to colouring - be in your own little world with Pender Gai’s colouring books! Stay educated and colourful with the Canada-themed colouring book consisting of 10 provinces and 3 territories and 1 Canada 24” x 30” poster. Colour the country as vibrant as you’d like!

YouPlusMe - Glass Candle 

Pair your colouring book with a candle (that has a burn time of over 40 hours)! Available in five scents, including Vanilla Bourbon, Hawaiian Cream, Coffee Talk, and more, each candle is made in a single batch and hand poured using cotton wicks. Take a bath, do some colouring, (just don’t take a nap with it lit) and enjoy the vibes and ambience of these candles. 

Needle Felting - Felting Needle Tool 

Trying to brush up on your knitting? We’ve got your starter pack here: a felting needle, as well as Corriedale Wool from Harmonique! The steel felting needle is a very easy and light tool which helps fibers become interlaced and attach to the motif of the fabric beautifully, while the wool is a New Zealand product made from pasture-fed sheep. Scoured (washed) using an environmentally-friendly, biodegradable detergent, dried, then dyed, this wool comes in many different colours and is certified of ecologically-safe clothing. 

For the kids!

Stuck at home with the kids on a rainy day? Keep them occupied with these items:

Tradewind Books

Books are a warm, comforting, and interactive activity to do with children, especially on days you spend inside. Tradewinds has many fun books, including “Mr. Belinsky’s Bagels” and “A Day with Yahyah” among many others, for your children to expand their thoughts, ideas, and imaginations. 

Loot Toy Co - Bath Squigglers 

Also translated to a kids bath bomb, these fizzy Squigglers dissolve in bath water and pop out a cute sponge character as well as change the colour of the water and release a fruity fragrance! Choose from 8 single Squigglers or a gift pack and collect all the characters! Locally-made in Vancouver, these bath bombs are safe for children above the age of three, and are non-toxic as well as 99.9% natural.
