[quote=Anonymous]OP provided you are compensating her appropriately for the two then she needs to understand how important it is for the children's development to have those experiences.

- Check out websites such as Pinterest fro activities that require less setup and cleanup but are still fun for kids. Crafts are great but can be a lot of work.

- Be sure you supply lots of creative art materials.

- My charge loves zoo days and in the afternoon after his lunch and nap I set out paints for him to paint his favorite zoo animal. I make sure to give him only as much supplies as I am willing to clean up. We have also done sidewalk chalk pictures.

- A soccer ball has been the best toy because we can step out of the museum and kick it around in the courtyard to mix things up. He can barely kick it a few inches so little danger of hurting anyone.

- Sometimes I just let him decide what he would like to do. Last week he wanted to fill a bottle with glitter, water, and rubber toy animals. Basically a homemade snow-globe. Works for me.

- Finally, I try to sync our activities with his learning goals. So on zoo day, we might learn the word elephant, the color gray, and a body part such as ear. Depending on age, its also good to through in letters of the alphabet or shapes. Sometimes our entire day is themed based on an animal or letter or number, etc.[/quote]
