I use the spray on sunscreen & I apply it outside. They line up & I spray each one. They go play as soon as they're sprayed. Never more than 5 minutes for 7 kids. Winter is harder, but I have them all dress themselves so it still doesn't take us more than 15 minutes unless I have a few that really struggle. We play outside a lot & I incorporate a lot of our preschool activities into outdoor time. Our preschool is definitely not a sit & do papers kind of program and my kids do learn a lot.
Plus, I go with the flow. Some days we stick to schedule. Some days we ditch the schedule and just play. I say go with what's working
