I've always liked to get out the finger paints, or even just a color book and crayons. If you are going to be spending the time with them, then maybe you could read a book to them. Of course I am assuming that you are talking about young children. If you mean older kids, I have no clue. At least not yet. ha ha I'm lucky because where I live now, I have a pool. So I take my little munchkins out everyday for about two hours, and even then I have to drag them away from the pool.

I've been there! We just moved two weeks ago, leaving behind a beautiful pool where all my grandkids had learned to swim. We have downsized--no large yard and no more pool. Age has set in to stay! Now the book reading, and coloring, and pool table, and sandbox--I can handle that.

Since Graciemae came on the scene I have been run ragged, She was never a child that sat down, or had a nap in the afternoon and still to this day doesn't. She would never sit still long enough to read a book, but if you read it out loud while she was fiddling about doing other things, she still remembered everything you had said.

Graciemae needs to be occupied full time, and outside, so me and her often get a little bag each and so in search of treasure or whatever, it could be bottle tops, lollipop sticks that we collect and she loves it because she is an outside child. I have no choice. I found doing this, the hours while away quicker than sitting in the house watching the clock every minute waiting for her mom to come and pick her up.

5 days aweek 10 hours a day makes me think that I should have been her mom.

Oh how I love to see the "back" of that child but love her even more when she comes "back" the next morning
