You can call it something cute, like "wild time" and follow it with 'fix it time' where they try to put it back together.
Also, I saw on another thread the 'Book Hospital'...maybe have her help fix the books with tape (I'm unsure of her age) instead of throwing them out...
I don't know, I'm just trying to think outside the box today, maybe a little too much? Tomorrow's the last day of my Summer Camp program, and I am burnt out.
ITA with this. Perfect advice!
