Hi all!!!
I've just taken on 2x 2 year olds twins and trying to find a solution to where they eat their meals and indoor 'messy' play/interest table...
I have tried lap trays, but they are quite big for them and keep sliding off their laps. Tried lap tray on floor but they find it hard to lean over tray to eat and end up with food on floor or on themselves. Ive also noticed they have a limited attention span, Partly age and partly i think at home they are allowed to wonder around the house with food. i do not allow them to do that at my setting. We're working on this.....!
Tried sitting them at my kitchen table, they are too little to sit directly on chair and haven't mastered kneeling yet. Also have the issue of them conditionally wanting to get down! I have one booster seat, so could get another but then what could I use for interest table as not practical to use this method each time they want to look at something!
At home parents feed them on floor with tray with legs. I can't find these... Only ones I've found are the posh wooden ones you might find in hotel, start about £20 each. I don't really want to spend that much as ill only have them until July and I'm unlikely to need them again or use them at home.
Any suggestions!!!!!!!?!?!? Thank you x
