I know u bake, creative, singing, read stories, play with the toys, take them out. What else can you do that's fun and maybe pass the day for a 1 year and a 3 year old. Advice plz

Hi Daisy, are you the nanny with the new job in Northampton?

If so how is it going? I'm so ...I'm doing call centre work at the mo because nanny work up here (Lancashire) has seriously dried up, even with 6 years experience under my belt.

Here is things you could do with the children;
bake
sing
stories
make playdoh
draw
paint
do sticky collages
fill a washing up bowl with water or sand and put on a the floor with lots of towels underneath and put some things in (like cups, bowls, spoons)
visit the library
go to the park
take a picnic somewhere nice and picturesque
go on a bus/train ride
play outside
