Hi there
well, im looking for help in this are too but I have found that my own kids (ages 3,2, &1) love pouring activites.
So I let them use beans, or pasta or rice (i try not to do rice with the 1 yr old) that occupies them for a good 15 minutes, I let them use spoons, scoops, tongs, cups.
I also fingerpaints, goop, glue activites and coloring.
I find that they get bored of activities REALLY fast like im talking 5-10 minutes MAX for most things. They love playing outside (im not an outdoorsy person at all) but i take them for a walk either down to the playground or convenient store and back that takes up some time in my day too.
I have been watching one older girl who is about 5 and her parents dont make her nap anymore which is difficult. So i let her play board games, do worksheets, and have some computer time. the younger kids like to watch her as she plays games on the computer.

Honestly, even the 5 year old doesnt have much of an attention span. So I really dont know what do to with her
