[quote=Anonymous]I swear by sensory bins - they occupy my charges for sometimes hours on end, especially the 2-3yo range.

When I nannied full-time we would 'do' a theme of sorts, based on what I noticed the kids were into, or what I liked, and we would do lots crafts and sort of learning on that theme a little bit every day.

My current charge is all about writing letters - we made a postbox out of a cereal box, use stickers or coloured little pictures for stamps, ink stamps as the post's stamp, we make envelopes out of A4 paper, she fills them with pictures and letters and 'sends' them to her parents and relatives. Some of the nicer ones she put a lot of effort in we actually mailed to the grandparents and made a day out of going to the post office, etc.

Dancing games where they have to follow your cues.

Playdough making and using all kinds of things as tools.

We also papered a portion of the wall in her room and add little or big pictures with pencils, stamps, crayons, stickers, what have you as the time goes by. It's our big artwork wall.

But my kid is almost 4 and she really, really loves arts and crafts - but you can definitely adjust most of it for the age of your charges.[/quote]
