[quote=Anonymous]We had to put some toys away a few weeks back. She’s going to do a toy exchange today with those. We didn’t get anything extra we just digging in and participating with the things she has. Lots of drawing and letter practice when she feels like it. I’m stealing an idea from her preschool and we’re doing a little planning each day of what she wants to do. I wrote up a new schedule of things she wanted to include yesterday. We actually did most of them. Things like make Jell-O, play go fish, lunch, go for a walk, QUIET TIME, and a few other things. After completing each task she would cross them off list. I’m not following a strong time schedule for stuff but it seems to help to have a little bit of structure. i’m also a contract worker that is unable to telework so I have a little more free time than many right now. (and I’m trying to fill it so I don’t freak out about a total loss of income!!)

I know this doesn’t answer your question directly. But really kids don’t need that much they just need a little nudge and their imaginations take over. I do find I need to be a lot more on then I normally am. Which is why we’re definitely doing quiet time, and some tv. [/quote]
