How are you getting on with clubs and siblings?
We’re on week 2. If you’re looking for a recap on why I’m talking about toys and activities for after school clubs , visit : Keeping sane with clubs and siblings.
In brief, the LO was having a tough time seeing one or both of his brothers go off to their club and a) not join in and want to join in or b) having bored children who acted up during the club. Either way I wasn’t getting to see what was going on in the club. I was too far from home to go home and having some one on one time that was limited seemed like a good opportunity to do something with them.
It has to be fun and engage.
Mr Potato head was a big hit so he was first choice with another head for friends.
Doodle pro
Easy to carry and endless fun. Every home should have one!
Games we played:
Mummy draws as fast as she can and the LO erases it as quickly as possible.
LO draws something. I copy it. Erase. Repeat. Switch.
I draw something and LO guesses what it ?
I draw an incomplete object and LO adds to it.
