I have two little girls here today and we are going to be taking it easy! Most days we spend half the day inside and half the day outside but since the weather is going to keep us from going out – I decided to take a practice day of keeping them entertained inside!
Since they are 2 and 3, their attention span is about 30 minutes. Here’s our usual schedule for a day that includes outdoor time:
8:30-9:00 Excitement to see each other which involves, hugs, kisses, chasing each other, and showing each other toys. Then they’ll usually “help” me get breakfast ready.
9:00-9:30 Breakfast time!
9:30-10:00 Free play time in the house.
10:30-11:00 We go for a walk.
11:00-11:30 Color or Play-Doh
11:30-12:00 They help me make lunch
OR
10:30-11:30 Park Time
11:30-12:00 They help me make lunch
12:00 Lunch
12:30-1:00 Quiet Time
1:00 -4:00 Nap Time
4:00 – 4:15 Snack
4:15 – 5:00 Puzzles, Reading Time, or Blocks usually.
So what I’ll need to do is find an indoor activity to keep us busy from 10:30-11:00. Some days we’ll bundle up and play out on the back patio but for those really cold or yucky days I wanted a few options to keep us entertained.
Today we are going to try music time. I’ve got a bunch of musical toys ready and I’m hoping it will include lots of dancing and giggling to get out all their energy!
Do you have any great ideas you’d love to share?
Thanks for stopping by.
Love Always,
J
