[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At least while the kids are little - let go of the idea that you'll be able to sit down a do an activity with one of them.  your job evolves more to management and keeping everyone safe and logistical things moving.  If you try to sit down and do a craft project with your oldest, both of you will just end up frustrated because you'll be interrupted 10000 times (unless others are napping at the same time).[/quote]

I'm the PP with kids 4, 2.5 & 7 months.

Could not agree more. I forgot this detail.
I did lots of fun messy painting with the oldest up until the 2nd outgrew the newborn stage.
Now the older 2 do either low-mess art activities like coloring books, toddler (cut proof) scissors and glue sticks, or sometimes PlayDoh, but even that sometimes requires meto be more hands on than I'd like.

I kind of hate all the complicated activities people recommend-- they're so unrealistic. There's nothing wrong with being hands off and letting your kids occupy themselves with their trucks/toys/dolls/crayons..[/quote]
