Wanting to shair secerts with other in home child care providers?

You could put tape on the ground, making a path, and have the children follow it around the home or day care area. You can paint large rocks found by the children from outside. Make a bear cave out of a cardboard box. If you are okay with using food in art, use potato as a stamp when painting. Have the children help make or set up for snacks. Make sensory bottles out of old water bottles and put cinnamon sticks and other smelly stuff in them. There are many sites out there that you can check out if you need any ideas with daily plans for the children. Some are Perpetual Preschool, First-School, and Idea Box are just a few. Also KIDiddles is a good site for children's music, such as rhymes and move along songs. Hope this all helps and good luck with your day care.

I don't have a home child care or anything coz the laws about that here in Australia are quite different to there but i do have some ideas that would be inexpensive yet a lot of fun for the kids to do! Try bubble blowing, the older ones should enjoy that, you just need wire that you can make a loop at one end & some washing detergent mixed with water - easy :) It will be good for the little ones as well coz all kids love bubbles! What about finger painting? You could always do that in your garage to avoid too much mess & kids love painting! What about face painting, you could paint each child's face in to something different! Building blocks are always fun, i don't know if you have them there but here we have clams - they're a double sided thing that you can put sand in to so they could have a sand pit (they double over to keep the weather & animals out of)! I'm just trying to think of what my nieces of the same age like - dress ups work well (you can get cheap clothes from op shops), movies usually work ok, what about card games like snap? I hope that helps some ;)
