Daycare Center and Family Home Forum>Ideas Needed: Nap Bags
WImom 12:11 PM 01-25-2012
I'm in need of some nap bag ideas for my non nappers. Right now they go to a seperate room but once I finish my daycare remodel they will be staying on their mats most likely and playing in the same room as the nappers.

I'll be trying to group my non nappers/early wakers near each other and my nappers in their own group but I'm looking for ideas for the bags that will be super quiet.

This is what I have right now:
Crayons/Coloring books
Color Wonder
Small Colorforms/Felt boards
Foam puzzles
foam blocks
Ponies/brush
books

more ideas please!!

Sensory bins. I have sensory bins for my kids when they need some quiet time. Each kid gets a separate bin and I swap them when they start looking a little bored. Here's what I have in the bins: rice, beads and shoelaces, magnets, sand, beans, papers to cut or rip, cut straws, and shells.

This one is even better (IMO):

Huh. Well, I just posted links to two blogs with some great ideas, but got a message that said that it needed approval first. Am I that untrustworthy after three years?
