in the afternoon? For over a year I've had kids from 8 to 4. Now I've got one from 6:30 to 5:30 3 days a week. I've gotten used to getting up so early, that's not the problem. What do you do with the kids after nap time?! I've got 3 hours to kill, and to be honest, it's all free time right now because I don't have the motivation to do anything else. That's how it's always been around here. But the afternoons just DRAG ON!
We have circle time in the mornings. We go outside after lunch and then again after afternoon snack but it gets to be that we're outside for too long for this crowd. They get bored after an hour. Maybe I'm just tired and not being a fun-enough provider, but I need ideas for how to kill time until 5:30.
TIA!
