[quote=Anonymous]When I have had charges that age, we had a routine of going on an outig every morning.  Once a week grocery trip, once a week was errands, once a week was a park or hike, once a week was a museum and once a week was a sort of wildcard day--playdate, concert, etc.

We'd get up and ready, go out, come home for lunch and nap/rest time, then in the afternoon they would either work on a project (bubbles, playdough, art) on days we did an errand or shopping for our outing or they'd "help" me with housework on days they did a kid-centric morning outing.  And Friday night they always helped me make dinner.

Late-afternoon, we'd wrap up what we were doing, get the house tidied up,  and would get out a few books or other quiet activities to do until the parents got home.

I am another one who thinks that learning through play or through work is better at this age than trying to do a forced intellectual activity.

We would work on skills like one to one correspondence by matching socks as we folded laundry. We would work on colors by going to a art museum and talking about what we saw. We would work on a letter recognition by giving them a list of what we needed to buy at the grocery store and having them help me match the beginning letter of each word to the item as we put it in the cart.
