Rainy day activity: volunteer with kids

A recent Wall Street Journal piece compared different volunteer websites where you can potentially find one day opportunities doing things like stuffing envelopes. Probably not going to work with straight up toddlers, but could be nice with an older child.

And here's an article about volunteering specifically with kids.

I mentally bookmarked some of the ideas for volunteerism with children that I heard about on Obama's national day of service. Collecting food for food banks and also becoming a regular visitor to a nursing home (where a child's energy is welcome) were some of the most appealing to me.
