Summer holidays for 5yr old. what should I do to keep him engaged?
My son has two months of summer holidays from next week. we have a nanny to take.care of him and his toddler sister. wife and I will be at work during daytime.
What should I do to keep him occupied and sane?
- matt_the_bass 8y agoWith all due respect, what do you do with them the other 10 months of the year? Do those same things. I have a 5 and a 2 y/o. They will spend 2 months home from school with my spouse. Some of their plans include: - visit local farms - visit local children’s museum - play dates with other kids - gardening (Gettig outside and learning about food) - help with light chores (ie feed the dog, sweep the floor, put away toys) - “writing” letters (ie drawings with some words) to relatives - learning to cook more recipes (they love mixing ingredients for baking)
