AnonyMouse_26037 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 All my productive plans for the weekend have disappeared in dozing - please tell me not to feel guilty, that clearly I needed it! I have, though, also fixed the washing machine! Am pondering scones for tea. I made a mini baguette yesterday - it looked 'interesting'!! Also, just wondering if any of you lovely friends would be up for a little ideas sharing around activities for 2-3 year olds? I am out of practice (and have never worked with children that young).

Also, just wondering if any of you lovely friends would be up for a little ideas sharing around activities for 2-3 year olds? I am out of practice (and have never worked with children that young). Do not feel guilty- you obviously did need it 😁 Just to add my two-pen'erth ... I've not done anyhting much for the last two days! When can you come and fix mine! 😳 Just walked out to find a small pool of water in front of it. My plan is to not use it again today- and hope by tomorrow it will have fixed itself? Scones are always a good idea 😊 Activities.... what kind are you looking for? In this house 'arts and crafts' has always been a top choice, if not that then playing tea parties- you can combine that with cooking if you are feeling kind- and do not wish to just lay on sofa whilst being given 'cups of tea and cake' 😂 Just going out for walks is possibly one of the best- either on a nice sunny day, or jumping in puddles if raining. ☔🌧️. Note: arts and crafts = cutting, gluing- old cards, sequines etc. (glue sticks are good as they dry quickly at this age) collecting bits from a walk and making a picture painting - if I'm in the mood for the mess it creates felt pens seem to go down better with the younger age as they get more colour with less pressure than a pencil - but you can't take you eyes of them for one second whilst they have a flet pen in their hands... also this does not work well if you are 'precious' about your pen lids!😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I think that sounds like an excellent plan for your washing machine. Mine had just stopped mid-cycle - I googled the error message and followed instructions! The scones were good and I'm now enjoying a mug of proper hot chocolate before an early night. The activities are for school rather than my niblings - will send a message to explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit late to this... You definitely needed some extra sleep - no doubt about that! Activities - everything louby suggested + dough ( I would make loads) ...without knowing what exactly you are doing it is hard to know what to advise - is it just a one off session or something long term that you can purchase resources for? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the need to say my washing machine plan appears to have paid off... 😳 I just walked away for 24 hours, and now (touch wood) it appears to have stopped leaking, very strange! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_8282 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Afternoon every one. After a full on morning of 'arts and crafts' I am now about to lay on the sofa for a short nap! Back to work next week, and I have mixed feelings, I'm actually looking foward to a bit of routine - but I think that's down to the awful weather at the moment. Have a good weekend all x 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hello everyone! I have woken up to a frosty mist but there is also bright sunshine which is lovely - the mist is disappearing very quickly! Usual busy week for me at work and nothing much exciting planned for the weekend - I'm hoping there will be some cake on the horizon somewhere! Enjoy the weekend everyone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
