There’s nothing like the sound of rain on the windows… until the kids start bouncing off the walls. When outdoor plans get rained out, El Ridge Corner has everything you need to turn a grey day into a great day – no extra planning (or panic) required.
Whether you’re parenting toddlers or entertaining tweens, here’s your one-stop rainy day rescue guide, all from stores you know and love.

- Uno, Snap, Dominoes
- Puzzle sets for all ages
- Indoor bowling or ring toss kits
- Surprise toys to keep things fresh
Tip: Create a “rainy day box” ahead of time and stash away a few toys or games just for moments like these.
Build a Blanket Fort and Read
Rainy days are made for reading marathons under cosy covers.
Find something for every age at Crazy Store or PNA:
- Storybooks and comic books
- Colourful educational books for toddlers
- Crossword books or Sudoku for older kids
Throw in a few soft pillows, and you’ve got rainy day magic.
Snack Like a Pro
No survival kit is complete without snacks.
Stock up at Checkers or Woolworths with:
- Popcorn, juice boxes, marshmallows
- Hot chocolate supplies
- Easy lunchbox-style snacks for grazing all day
Make it extra fun by letting the kids set up a “movie snack stand” in the lounge.
And For You?
Don’t forget the grown-up essentials – a cappuccino to-go from your favourite coffee stop, a magazine, or even a little sweet treat for later.
Because surviving a rainy day deserves a reward.
One Stop. No Stress.
At El Ridge Corner, we know the weather doesn’t always play along – but your plans still can.
Rainy days don’t have to be chaotic. They can be cosy, creative, and just what your family need.
