Rainy day activities in Perth don’t need to mean a day of screens. The best indoor ideas keep kids busy, creative and happy, whether you’re at home or heading out. Here are our favourite things to do in Perth on a rainy day with kids, including creative classes at our studios in North Perth and Kalamunda.
What can kids do at home on a rainy day?
Set up an art table: paper, paint, glue and whatever’s in the recycling.
Make cloud dough: it takes five minutes with our [cloud dough recipe].
Build a cardboard creation: a box becomes a castle, a car or [butterfly wings].
Put on a show: puppets, costumes and a blanket stage.
Draw the weather: rain, puddles and a very dramatic sky.
What are the best things to do in Perth when it’s raining?
Some great indoor options around Perth include:
Museums and galleries to spark curiosity.
Indoor play centres and trampoline parks for burning energy.

Creative classes and workshops, like ours at Faire & Co.
Why are creative activities great on rainy days?
Imagination: art lets kids escape into their own world.
Connection: creating together is lovely family time.
New skills: trying a new material or technique builds confidence.
Calm: a creative project is a great reset on a cooped-up day.
