I need a place to have arts/crafts/sensory bins and another time for dance/music. Should I do certain days for something? I have from 10-noon that I still need to find a solid routine. We do go outside right now.

So 10 am snack, then helper gets here and they go from snack to getting dressed for outside. They're normally inside by 11 am since it's colder weather. So technically I have 11-noon where we could do art or sensory or music. My afternoons are filled with random pickups so I don't want to do any scheduled one on one activities as we always do those randomly throughout the late afternoon.

My issue is if we're doing art just before lunch I still need the kids to be out of the room for 10 minutes prior to lunch so we can clean the tables and prep the food. Should I do art/crafts/sensory DAILY at 11 am when we get back inside then have them do free play or music in the main room while the other adult does the mealtime prep?
