i have a 5yr old girl after schooler, she has just started school and had her first full week so last week i didn't plan much incase she was tired. By the time we get home from school, she changes then has a snack I have about an hour to do something with her and my daughter. Should I do an activity everyday or should I allow free play some days? Ive done various arts/crafts, some baking and let them do colouring in/drawing and playdoh.
Is there anything else I can be doing or am I being too hard on myself (ive only been minding 4 weeks). I have 1 other mindee of 16mths but she is only here 2 afternoons at the moment until her mum starts working.
What do you do with your afterschoolers??
