"The Child's Rainy Day Book" by Mary White is a guidebook aimed at helping children engage in creative indoor activities during rainy days, likely written in the early 20th century. The book offers a variety of crafts and toys that children can make, encouraging self-sufficiency in play rather than reliance on commercial toys. It focuses on the joy of creating and the value of imagination in entertainment. At the start of the book, the author addresses the common dilemma parents face when children are stuck indoors on rainy days and emphasizes the need for engaging activities. White suggests that many traditional toys are less appealing to children than home-made toys, highlighting how memorable and cherished are the games and crafts children create themselves. She introduces several projects in the first chapter, including simple games and toys that can be made from easily accessible materials, thus promoting creativity and resourcefulness in children.
