[quote=Anonymous][quote]We have asked her to read to our boys daily and engage them in developmentally appropriate play. For example, we provided her with an infant and toddler activity book and have asked her to do different activities with the boys, like take them to the library for story time or singalongs. One thing I asked her to do was to introduce them to other textures in these touch and feel books. Another activity was to play peek-a-boo, have the boys follow objects and hide them, alternate snapping, play with bottles that have different materials (sand, sequins, liquid).[/quote]

Did you hire someone who is an absolute moron regarding children?

These things happen through regular play, OP.  You hired a nanny.  If you did a good interview, and some reference checks, you will have hired someone who knows what to do with an activity book, etc.  All of the manipulatives you came up with aren't even necessary.  Put them down with some toys and let the have at it.  Make it fun, and they will be engaged and learn.

Perhaps your nanny knows this.
