I have read some great blogs which have wonderful activities you can do with a toddler at home and I have used several of their ideas...
But no-one tells you how difficult it can actually be keeping your toddler amused while you homeschool the older children - surely I am not the only one who has struggled with this?
After much searching and trying to find some answers and coming up with very little in the blog world - I have discovered a few things that actually keep our two year old entertained while we home learn...
Lola now has her Í can do activities' with our monthly theme and we have our special time just us together working on some of her activities in the morning. When I am doing book work with Pernella & Charlie, Lola now has her own book bag with books, colouring books, crayons that are her 'school books' that come out only when we are sitting around the table...
I brought a red plastic tub and filled it with lots of knick knacks... lids, beads, plastic lizards, spoons, empty containers etc, etc.. so she can dig around and play with whats inside - a huge success - (Hubby found his missing sunglasses in there on the weekend - big grin!) Puzzles have proven to be a big hit - those I have made and store brought one's.
I know juggling school work will get easier as Lola gets older and then we have to start all over again with Molly - big grin...
Lola loves helping with the dishes so I set her up with her teaset and washing up bowl... but it wasn't long before out come the teaset and in went the doll!
lots of fun...
