[quote=Anonymous]Lots of Montessori type activities for the younger child that they can do independently. Themed trays with matching, felt boards, sorting, etc. Work on increasing their ability to work or play quietly. Save new skills for older during littlest nap time. Set up play outside for younger with a table for older to do some work. Focus more on activities than 1:1 instruction at this age. Make the most of 1:1 instruction time you do have by planning well and using good instruction materials. Focus on math, reading, handwriting. Vary materials so there are direct instruction items as well as independent work items they can move to when you have to divide attention. Use a routine so they both know what’s expected of them day to day. You shouldn’t need more than 2-3 hours of 1:1 time at that age if it’s intensive and well-planned. Use rest of day to reinforce concepts naturally through play and activities. Lots of planning and preparation will help you most. https://homeschoolden.com/2019/01/17/a-huge-list-of-activities-for-ages-2-5/[/quote]
