5 year old. Well aware learning isn't a must. But purely to keep her occupied for parts of the day I planned.
For an hour in the morning we will do colouring, patterns ,numbers, reading and work sheets. Then on nice days the kids Can have the patio doors open to the garden all day. I planned to take different toys outside to play. Maybe do some dancing about and exercise in the afternoons on you tube. Determined to make it fun time for them.....
Day one.... We did 30 minutes of maths and colouring. She then played outside for twenty minutes. The rest of the day was snacks. When is dinner? When is tea? Took her for a very quick 5 minute walk then encouraged her to sleep as she had got up really early. She didn't but played on her tablet.
Today I got out a new word game I got her brand new last week. It's orchard toys. Thought she would enjoy searching for the letters to put on the words. Two words in she's sighing and rolling her eyes. So we put it away. I then said let's practice writing letters. She rushed through them and wasn't concentrating so they didn't look right. Now she's laid on the sofa watching Bing.
I don't mind. But omg it's day two and she's bored stiff. Another day asking for snacks and moaning. I have so many little simple activities to do. Not just work. Yet nothings inspiring her so far. How are we going to break these boring days down if she can't find fun in anything? Id of loved to if played with my mum.
She's got Barbie sets for her birthday she's not even looked at. Lego from Christmas. Kinetic sand. Building, hatchimals, dolls etc. She just wants to lie about lol!!
