of course desperate times require desperate measures!
Well as of yesterday I am sick. Yuck! Sore throat, sore ears, sweats , blah blah blah. So what does a childminder do when she is not sick enough to cancel , but too sick to do a lot of activities with the kids??
Well of course she sets the pre schoolers up with lots of different sized bowls, tubs some with lids, some without, spoons, and lots of uncooked rice. I think it bought me a good 40 mins lying on the couch watching them and trying not to use my poor throat!
Of course there is the inevitable! The mess associated with this activity is quite substantial although very easily cleaned up. The girls set to work with a dustpan and brush each and I finished off.
Made sure to have it done by the time Daddy came home! Although he allows us to make these sorts of messes, they make him jittery and I'm not sure he totally understands how much fun they are!
