[quote=Anonymous]As the mom of a similar aged toddler (and a couple older kids), I’m going to recommend letting the idea of crafts go. It’s really hard to supervise while setting them up, makes a mess, and then you have to try to supervise while cleaning. She should be doing engaging activities, but keep it very simple. Bubbles are great. Highly recommend a water table too. Is your nanny able to drive? Ours takes our toddler places — library story time, the pool, play places, various parks, etc. or sometimes I’ll ask her to run an errand like Target or get a few items from the grocery store. My DS is happy to people watch from a shopping cart. I agree with you on the 1 nap thing though. We’ve been down to 1 nap since about 14 months and the daycare we used with our older kids also started transition to 1 nap once they were in the 12-18 month room. I’d be concerned she’s trying to extend on the clock nap hours to sit on her phone.[/quote]
