Quiet Time Workstations

Every day, at approximately 10am, Toto has a sleep. Not a nap. A sleep. 2.5 hours of bliss spent in the land of Nodd.

 

Except for when the girls are home.

 

Then, he wants to join in the fun. And the noise. And there is usually a lot of it!!

 

One day I was struggling with this (and a very overtired, grumpy 8 month old baby) when I came across a solution.

 

Workstations.

 

I talked with the girls and discussed their favourite quiet-time activities. Then we picked three, and set up a 60 minute rotation. The children had 20 minutes per activity, with special mummy time doing each one to keep them ontask.

 

Here they are:

 

Laminated Playdough Mats

 

 

Colouring Station



 

Puzzles

 

 

 

What quiet time activities do you do with your children?
